This is Bert writing. (This was supposed to be posted at 11:30 AM - but we had technical difficulties).
Sue got of the OR a little over an hour ago. This morning was the hardest time for me during the last 6 month. I would have wished so much that I could have done something to help her with this process. I wish I could have taken her place. But, at the end there is nothing we can do.
Sue was very calm and had a great spirit. I admire her for the strength she possesses. I am sitting in a waiting room for the next few hours. I am at peace with the world and full of hope. All the indications we have are very, very positive. But, at the end of the day we will know if this is true or not. The unknown is something that is hard to deal with. But again, my faith and my trust in the Lord are keeping me calm.
During the last months and this time of uncertainty I have looked back on my/our live. I don’t want to bother you with details, but I/we have been blessed all my live. I can't even express how thankfully I am for all the good things the Lord bestowed upon us over these years. I am sure there is far more to come.
Sue is in excellent hands and the Lord is watching over her. Soon she will be up and about and spread her energy and her love for live in the world around us.

Looking at her last post, I have to agree. This is not defining her. Sue is who she is and she is so unique. This is just a hurdle in the road and it will make us only stronger. It already has in the last few months. We have realized how much many important things there are in life than what we thought there are. Especially I have learned how deep my love is for this woman and how much she means for so many others.
This morning when she was already sleepy and droopy from the medicine, she asked me (with all the concerns she could muster) if I got enough coffee this morning. For somebody on her way to a four hour surgery is there a nicer way to say: “I love you"? .... I don't think so.
I also would like to thank each and every one of our friends for all the support we have gotten. I never knew that there are so many people out there that are there when we need them. So many of you offered you help, and we really, really appreciated. It gave us so much comfort and strength. If there is anybody we did not thank yet, and there are probably quite few, please know that we do appreciate all you did and will carry the kindness you bestowed upon us in our hearts for the rest of our lives.
I will post more later and let you know where we are.
