Early Morning Tomorrow

I know I say this every time, but again, thank you for your prayers. Things are falling into place. Meghan's mom and dad arrived on Sunday afternoon and we have been enjoying their company. My mom arrives tonight. The boys are having a sleep over with some really good friends of ours. I think we are set to head to the hospital in the morning.
We did all our pre-op stuff today and every thing looks good. One thing we would like to add to the prayer requests is that Coleman would not have what they call Transfusion Rejection. My understanding of it is that Coleman has some antibodies that reject certain kinds of blood. So they were testing her blood against the blood that was donated to make sure they have enough on hand for the surgery. They were to call us if they did not have enough, and since we have not heard from them it looks like everything is a go for tomorrow.
We need to be at the hospital at 5:30 tomorrow morning. We will check in, they will take us to a holding area (whatever that may be), and then they will take Coleman back to get her ready for surgery. At that time Meghan and I, and our family will be in the PCICU waiting room on the 4th floor of the Main Hospital. We will be getting hourly updates from the nurse and there are computers in the waiting room so hopefully I will be able to update the blog on a regular basis.
Again thanks for your prayer, and I apologize for bad grammar (Maureen, Terri and Jen that was for you) But it is late and I have had a long day.
Safe in God's arms,
Scott and the family!

Our family is praying that all goes well and precious Coleman will be home with you all again soon. Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you.

Hey, that's not bad grammar for being so late at night (or early in the morning)! I'm praying for you all!
