To be honest, Monday was very overwhelming. Montreal received 10 inches of snow during the day. The schools were all closed. Public bussing stopped. The roads where a mess. For those that have been here with Tim and me Atwater, the road going up Mt. Royal was a parking lot! Cars where getting stuck trying to make in up the Mt. We got the car stuck in the parking lot right behind the hotel. I had to carry Tim up to the front because the snow was too deep to use the wheelchair. We got an all wheel drive cab and made it up to the hospital only to find half the staff unable to make it in (including the doctors who we needed to see and needed to write the orders!!!) We did finally get everything in. A day without food, 4 frightening cab ride between two hospitals and a lot of scary info about the surgery. Tim just smiled at me halfway through and said, "Have a good day???" We both got the giggles and cried a little (the crying was me of course!) hugged and pressed on. Today we will be admitted. We hope to catch a fun breakfast at La Bell Provience and then face the music again at the hospital. The Halo and the traction start tomorrow. Surgery is at 745. Tim will have to be flat or sitting at a 90 degree angle after the Halo and the traction start. They say it will be an hour for surgery. Love everyone!!! God is good in Montreal too! I can not lie, our jar has a few more holes that do not feel real good but God's power and grace and peace are hopefully shining through!!!!
