Hi All:

This might be one of 3,627 updates by the time we get through today. 🙂

It is 9:10 in Denver. Cynde’s procedure started at about 8:20…and so we wait.

Hospitals are funny things when it comes to waiting.

We wait to go home.
We wait for answers.
We wait for the next step in the journey.
We wait for someone to walk through a door and tell us what comes next.

Cynde has done everything she could to get herself to this day. She made it through three rounds of chemo, TPN, countless appointments, scans, blood draws and more than a few bumps along the way. Today, her job is to sleep while an incredible surgical team does its work.

Our job is to wait. And love her.

Pops is doing okay. The nurse will be texting him updates from the operating room, and we will post as soon as we hear anything.

Thanks for waiting with us, dear Tribe. There is something incredibly comforting about knowing we aren’t sitting in this waiting room alone.

AND…if you want to text Pops, I’m sure he would love reading your good thoughts, prayers, inappropriate jokes, distractions and words of support. He probably won’t text back today, but I promise he’ll love hearing from you.

Here we go. ❤️
