Hi everyone,

We got a new surgery date for Ava 🙏🏼, January 31st, 2024. We just found out and are eager to get her operation done. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions for our family. Being mentally prepared to take on this surgery for Ava, get to Edmonton and then was cancelled. Over Christmas we were told from the surgeon that it was likely Ava wouldn’t get scheduled till the spring. Landon and I sat with just sadness and frustration as our lives are essentially put on hold till something comes up. It’s impossible to plan anything as a family with a known surgery and no date. Luckily we are going sooner than expected 🙏🏼. We will be leaving Jan 29th to Edmonton as we will need to do the pre-admission clinic again prior to surgery.

We are pulling Ava out of school a week and a half prior to us leaving so she can isolate from the viruses and stay healthy. We will be essentially doing all we can. She will be missing about a month from school for this. We will be eager to get back home and heal once she’s discharged from the hospital.

We will keep everyone up to date once she goes into surgery🙏🏼. Thank you all for the love and support for our little Ava ❤️.
