Congratulations on your up-coming surgery...you will do great!! As for your question about belvidere BTC having rooms for extended stay for your families-they don't but they have a deal with a local motel-it's called the Cambridge Inn and it's about $40 a night, my husband says there's also a rate deal at the Red Roof Inn in Rockford-just say you will be having surgery at the BTC...your best bet would be to call your advisor at BTC-she should be able to tell you! Good Luck, I'll be praying for you!!
