Surgery was cancelled!
Richard and Hannah arrived at the hospital this morning to learn that the surgery was cancelled due to the surgeon having COVID! They had to wait around for a while but were then given a new date of August 30th. Richard brought Hannah back here to get breakfast and then he headed back down the road to Springfield to take her back. We had decided to stay here until Thursday as everything was already paid... read more
