When the stoma nurses were educating us, they said that some people who have stomas give their new little appendage a name. So Gramps is sponsoring a contest to name his stoma! Submit your name to the blog or email to dayna.tanner@gmail.com or text me 801-380-6640. Suggested names will be given to Dad anonymously and he will choose the winner!

Surgery is set for 6:00 AM on Monday. It is estimated to last about 6 hours. I'll text my siblings through out the day and will update the blog as soon as possible after the surgery. Dennis and Debbie are here and will be here to help for a while longer. We have a hotel in Salt Lake Monday and Tuesday night. If needed, I will stay in Dad's room at night.

Dad has agreed to get wireless internet!!! It will be installed tomorrow and I will show them how to post/ comment on this site. In the meantime they send their love to you all. - Dayna
