surgery this morning

I was hoping to post last night, but by the time we had spent an hour in silence and darkness watching Esther not fall asleep...and then another half an hour getting everybody ready for bed, including running back out to the car for a sleeping bag for Daniel because he wasn't comfortable with just a blanket on top, while Esther continued to not fall asleep...it was too late to mess with getting the computer out.

So for anyone who happens to be awake in the wee hours of your morning to get this--Daniel's cataract surgery is this morning.  I'm not sure if getting here last night was a good idea or not.  We avoided an hour and a half drive on a wet and foggy highway in the dark, but thanks to Esther's difficulty sleeping in a strange place, we are all pretty tired this morning anyway.  Ugh.  But at least we are not stressed about whether or not we will arrive on time.  The surgery should go smoothly, and Daniel will likely be discharged around noon.  I will stay with him at the hospital while Tim entertains Esther.  All prayers are appreciated!
