God is always working to make His children aware of a dream
that remains alive beneath the rubble of every shattered dream,

a new dream that
when realized will release a new song, sung with tears,

till God wipes them away
and we sing with nothing but joy in our hearts

Still same day, still waiting

This has been one very long day. Kim went into surgery at 5:45ish. It is now 10:00 and they are still not done. The OR nurse has come out and updated twice, both times saying that things were going well, but it was going to be a while yet. The last update was about 45 minutes ago and they said it would be at least another hour.
All of the other families have now left the waiting room one by one and we are the only ones left. To pass the time we've laughed, cried, and looked for a lost Jolly Rancher. Everyone's dumb joke supply is exhausted--except Bob's whose knows no limit. The epitome of exhaustion was realized when began quoting Shakesphere and Edgar Allen Poe. This surgery better be finished quickly or we may find ourselves thinking it is ok to impersonate medical staff and start visiting patients. I, for one, think it sounds like fun.

OK...so they just called again. They were able to remove the clot, BUT she'll be in surgery for at least ANOTHER hour. Things are going well, though. I've gotta go. I need to find me some scrubs....
