Maggie's pre-op started today at 1:00p.m. She resisted being examined until Sebbie volunteered first for everything, then of course Maggie wanted her weight, height, temperature, blood pressure etc., etc. taken just like big brothers. They were both really impressed when the social worker brought each of them down cool, fun toys to build/play with. We met with everyone but her surgeon, who will check in with us before surgery tomorrow morning at 7:30am. Cathy and Maggie are staying at the hospital, Sebbie and I are staying at Uncle Eric's/Aunt Suzy's, which is an easy 20 minute drive to the hospital. The surgery planned for tomorrow is to build a new upper lip - that is the layman's version. The medical version involved 3-4 different medical terms, including rhinoplasty - don't know what is involved with that.

We started our pre-surgery routine last night, the same we did with all four of Sebbie's previous surgeries. An almost, all-you-can-eat sushi feast at Aomatsu in downtown Corvallis. Maggie fits right in with our families love of sushi, and she was the last one slurping down noodles. She even eats her teriaki chicken with a chop stick! Tonight, we gorged at the Spaghetti Factory, an easy 10 minute drive from the Hospital. Again, Maggie fits right in, loving nothing better than diving in to a huge platter mizithra and butter pasta. She even finished eating her bowl of spumoni ice cream. We've allowed her little tummy to expand the past few weeks, since we feel her subsisting on soft foods the next couple of weeks post-surgery is not going to be to her liking.

We will do another update tomorrow, after the surgery. Thank you for thinking of us.
