June 17, 2009, The Big Day, Post 1

Celebrating summer, the birds chirped all night. Here in NY it must be their only opportunity to be heard above the traffic.
In the morning, The Sun Rose, we got up, and gratefully accepted an avalanche of wonderful wishes from friends and family far and wide. We arrived at 7 as instructed, and waited around as usual... In the pre-0p room we quietly sang Beatles songs (Revolution) (I Will), and our family's song, a Mozart round. (Bona Nox, but we don't know the words...we just do dum dum dum)
Then Joshua and Daniel took power naps.
Just now, 10:11 AM, Josh is getting the epidural installed by a doc who does 12 a day, every day for four years....I check to make sure nobody is a novice.

The organization at MSKCC is very reassuring: plenty of systems to keep family members informed and connected to what is happening, so far.
