Early one morning, about a week before her surgery, Suzi's classmates and friends quietly covered her door with hearts. Each heart held a message of hope: tender words of encouragement, scriptures, hymns, pictures, poems, love, and compassion. She was very touched and moved the hearts to the wall outside her room where she can look at them often. To show our love and support, we are inviting people to add hearts to the wall. If you would like to add your support, you are welcome to bring one by the house (or use the hearts we have here) or please contact one of us for the address. You are also welcome to just send us a message and we can transfer it to a heart for you.

7:30 p.m. Update

They are closing up now.  Here is the text from Dad: "Just closing up.  Everything went well.  Dr. Said about an hour. He wants to talk with us.  Your Mom is amazing!"

Yes, she is!

I have been asked if it was just one surgeon working on her the whole time.  So, for those wondering, it was two separate surgeons, one for the maxillectomy (the removal of her jaw bone) and one for the bone graft.  Still, those are two major surgeries and I am grateful for the hard work of the surgeons and their teams.
