Time has never gone by slower.
We turned Madeleine over to the anesthesiologists around 8:15 this morning after we accompanied them through the halls to the OR area. Although her surgery was scheduled from 7:30-11:30, they can essentially take as long as they need to complete the procedure. Around 10:45 her surgeon, Dr Lazareff came to the waiting room to let us know that they had just finished prepping her for the surgery itself and he would be joining her then. We are praying diligently, nonstop for her safety and protection.
Madeleine was born October 2, 2011. Our dear sweet girl was diagnosed at 2 months old and in 15 short months joined the heavens on January 9, 2013 after 2 relapse incidents fighting for her life with a life-threatening Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor, or AT/RT of the brain and spine. She is greatly missed and her spirit lives on in all the lives she profoundly changed. This is the journey of her courage and resilience, and that of our little family.
