Gramma Catey decided as soon as she found out that Natalie needed surgery on her ear, that she wanted to have a Get Well party for her. Natalie and Gramma planned the party together and shopped for all of the special decorations, Natalie picked the cake, it was all about Natalie and she loved it! It sure took away from the anxiety of surgery as we concentrated on the party, which was the day before surgery.
