Orien Rose is in. She went in this morning at about 8am. We are looking at a minimum of 4 hours for the procedure (that does not include prep and post time).
Sitting in the waiting room, watching the newer parents turn their head every time a doctor walks in, we remember that feeling. Because we are "veterans" doesn't make this any less scary, we are only more prepared to occupy our time.
Orien plays on his phone, takes a number of walks...goes for fresh air. I have written, emailed, gotten frustrated at all the places the hospital network will not allow me to go (and thanks mom for your WWAN...which I am borrowing to get into the blog site).
We are almost 4 hours in so far...
Thank you all for the calls, emails, texts and support sent our way already today. Once Orien Rose is out and we are settled (we are told we will initially be in PICU), we will post again.
Blessings

I had the pleasure to get to meet Orien Rose at FSG as we were camped up the hill from all of you. My heart and thoughts are with you and her this day. She is a charming and lovely young woman. Her name will be in our healing box.
I'm glad I found this site through the Amber & Jet list to read about her story and ongoing situation.
I feel fortunate to have gotten to meet her this year.
Blessings,
Autumn (lady from the camper up the hill at FSG)
My thoughts and prayers have been with you all day today. I have been praying for strength and healing for all of you, Orien Rose, Christine and Orien.
God Bless you all
All my prayers of Love and Light surround you today!

Christine. I am Sharyn, Caleb Potter's mother. Thank you ever so much for finding us...until this year I did not even give CSF fluids a second thought and found myself mortified that I now understood all the medical terminology in your posts. We are holding up well. When you find the time perhaps you could e-mail me at Sharyn_lindsay@yahoo.com
Looking forward to hearing from you..and the best of all good things is what I am sending your way.
We're right here, sending love.
I'm wishing the best for Orien Rose!

Folks, I have to say that I am extremely upset with Blogger and its ability to help out its users. I made the mistake of posting an inquiry (I had a question...imagine that). Instead of answering my question, they disabled the site with no intention of enabling it.
So, in the meantime, please go to
orienrose.blogspot.com
I will post there until I can figure this out.

Dear Orien Rose, Christine and Orien,
We lit a candle and left it at the base of the rose bush we planted that we call "Orien Rose". It was a tiny votive that burned for 13 hours, despite the wind and rain!
We were thrilled (and relieved) to learn that Orien Rose did so well!
You are all in our thoughts!
Love you all,
Tracy, Ray, Kyla and Justin
Dear Christine,
Sending healing, love and light to you, Orien Rose, Orien and your entire family and community.
Brightest Blessings
