Three ways to say it
“omg i just heard, are you okay?? please let me know what's going on when you can, i'm so worried about you, sending all my love and please rest”
Just heard. Sending love — no need to reply, just want you resting.
“let me know if there's anything you need while you're there, i can bring you stuff, feed your cat, whatever you need i'm around and happy to help”
I've got your cat covered — don't think about it. Anything else, just say the word.
“thinking about you so much right now as you're about to go in, everything is going to go well, the doctors are great and i'll be checking my phone all day for updates”
Thinking of you right now. You're in good hands. I'll be here when you're out.
“how are you feeling today? i bet you're so bored in there, let me know if you want me to send you anything to read or watch to pass the time”
