32,000 feet high and ready!

Well, just a little update, was supposed to leave BWI at 5:10 and the left engine would not turn over so about 1.5 hours later, they got it fixed and we are on our way, love having wifi on the plane! Mom is at the hotel near DFW, we will leave tomorrow morning for San Diego and then on to Mexicali!

I took my daughter's pillow, has cute little hearts all over it (already had a few looks from other passengers...). This is my oldest and she has the worst time with me leaving so I gave her my pillow and took hers, I hope this helps her get through the next 5 days.

I will update as I can and also give Mom a tutorial on VSGtalk so she can update if I am unable to after surgery.

Take care! If anyone is on Chat right now, you got my undivided attention for the next 3 hours! Long flight!

GOOOOOOOOOD LUCK!!!! I know you will do great!! You have a wonderful Dr and great support! Have your mom check in with us so we will know how you are doing!

Good luck and happy losing!!

You'll be great! As I'm discovering, the first few days post-op can be a little rocky, but if you follow your doc's orders to the letter and remember to sip and walk (dehydration will just make you feel miserable!), you should be fine!

I'm so excited for you!!!! Its finally here. You are going to be so great. Dr. A and his team are seriously so gracious about making sure that you are well taken care of. Best of luck to you! Enjoy your last meal and margaritas!!!! Take care Angie.

Yay!! Cant wait to be next!!! I pray God will guide him through and make the tiniest tummy:) Good luck!!!

Hi Angie: What a good mom you are. I bet the hardest part for you will be having left the kids. In no time you will be back home and in a few weeks you'll be doing stuff with them that you hadn't thought possible. I can't wait for you to post again. Best to your Mom too. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. You are doing this for your family. I hope you can eat something good today too lol....God Bless.

So precious!! You are going to have the most wonderful experience and be home before you know it!! Then it will be bye bye to sick of rollercoaster and Hello.... Happy Sleever!!! LOL!

This is the very best Mothers Day present you could give yourself EVER!!!

I will be keeping you in prayer and anxiously awaiting a status update.

You are going to do GREAT!!!;):thumbup::) :thumbup::drool5:

Best wishes for your surgery to be uneventful and recovery a piece of cake, (figuratively speaking of course)! A prayer offered for you throughout. Your in good hands with Dr. Aceves.

Angie,

Enjoy the ride in the van - I thought the scenery was pretty on the way to Mexacali. Today will go by fast. Make sure you have something yummy to eat tonight (I didn't and still regret that). Tomorrow will go smoothly. Best wishes.
