packing for our rebirth

Thanks, Darlene.
I appreciate the words of encouragement and its always great to hear a great success story. That is just awesome about your daughter! Wow! 

All that and

a good book to read
cell phone so I can call to wake my kids up for school
extra shirts - my packet said your shirts may get stained from the drainage tubes.

I'm having my surgery in SE Michigan as well....Harper Hospital on the 3rd.

I'm having my surgery at Harper in a few hours, actually. I have to be there @ 5:30. Shoot, I haven't even started packing yet. The clock is ticking but since I have to be there so early I may as well just stay up. Hey it has been summer vacation and I have been a huge Nick @ Nite fan. 3 or 4 has been my normal bedtime anyway. Good Luck to you. Maybe we can walk the halls together. ---Lisa

Lisa!  Maybe we'll be roomies or something!  Look for me, I'll be the fat lady.  LOL!

Keep in touch and let me know how you are!

My list is tiny it seems but I am only in for 24 hours. so I will be taking:

-very loose sundress to wear home (no waste band)
-un flavored chapstick
-cell phone (to check on kids)
-Oasis mouth spray (help prevent cotton mouth)
-Mp3 player not my Ipod  (I am taking my 8year olds since it is not a real Ipod and if something happens it is only a cheap one so I can replace it with out tears)

My hosp. gives us robes and non slip slippers and when my sister had surgery she was way to out of it to read so I am skiping those items. I feel like I am missing stuff though.
I have never had surgery so I am just being a spaz I guess.

I'm packing

chapstick
fuzzy socks
hair brush
my own pillow
toothbrush/paste
gas x strips
cell phone
and my jumble book
outfit to wear home
