Iris is in surgery. Our day started early, but she was a trooper as she’s been throughout this journey. I was able to speak with her entire team before she went into the operating room and to say that she’s in good hands is a huge understatement. I fully believe my daughter is in the care of the best of the best today.
Her surgery is scheduled for 8 1/2 hours and fortunately they’ll be updating me along the way. My sister, niece and a dear friend are by my side for support.
I can’t thank you enough for your continued prayers and positive messages. We know that we are surrounded with love today and that He is watching over us and guiding Iris’ team.
Here’s a photo of my brave little girl right before they took her into the operating room. I know grandpa is smiling down and giving her a “thumbs up” too.

We are thinking about, positive energy going your way
I am sending all the love, support, and healthy mojo that I can muster, from afar. All of my prayers are directed in your family’s direction. xx- Jules
