Thursday Update

Hi -- It's Jody and Dave's friend Pat in New York with a bit of news. Just got an email from Dave who said they are in Dallas, have met with the surgeon whom Dave described as "confidence inspiring." One last last-minute battle with the insurance company which got resolved. Dave said that Jody is "doing well" and in good spirits. They have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 5:30 AM with the operation set to begin at 7:00 AM. I know she and Dave will be in all of our thoughts tomorrow as we send all our good wishes, healing angels, prayers, thoughts, and whatever else our particular beliefs are her way.
