We spent the weekend visiting and preparing for the first hospital stay. Terry is now tech savvy with her new ipod loaded with music, games and a few movies.

The surgeon is hopeful that the surgery will be done laprascopically. The actual surgery will take place on Wednesday, we will keep everyone posted as we learn more.
We decided to include a before picture to show you how large Terry's spleen 
actually is- so here it is:
