Surgery Date Set

[jenniferh]

So it looks like our now OFFICIAL date is Aug. 3 (next Friday). I told the surgeon's office that I couldn't emotionally handle another date change and she assured me this would be the date. We will be heading to Dallas on Wed. Aug. 1 I'm not sure if I will have access to a computer. We will most likely be staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Anyone have any experiences staying there?
I feel like I have been handling it all really well until today. :sad I put Addie down for a nap and finally had some quiet time to myself and my mind started racing and I just "lost it" I know it's probably good for me to cry, but I just don't know how I'm going to get through this. It feels like it has already been an emotional rollercoaster and I'm not even through the worst of it yet. All your stories help give me strength so I thank you for that. Thank you all for your support and listening to me ramble :)

Jennifer, I'm glad they finally settled on a date. You and Addie will get through it. It is alright to lose it once in while, we all have (shh!! don't tell Katie, but I did a time or two). We are all here for you and family. If you would like, I'm sure someone here will be happy to be a phone buddy. Just ask.

Oh Jenny, I'm so sorry. The realization that the surgery is actually near is so hard.

It will be one of the hardest things that you have ever gone through. But you and your Addie will get through it. You will find strength when you think it's not possible. Everything will be fine and you will soon be able to take a deep breath of relief on the "other side".

Please know that I am thinking of you and praying for you and your daughter. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here. Just message me here or on my space.

Good luck next Friday!!!! It's a very emotional time....I cry a lot...it's totally normal. :hugg :hugg

[jenniferh]

Thank you all for your wonderful words of encouragement. Today is a better day. It's weird how emotional I can be at times and then how strong I can be at others. Thanks again for all the support. :wink

[Jennifer]

I'm glad your doing better today (well I guess yesterday, who knows how today is :giggle). I definantly had the ups and downs of strength and weakness. It's so hard when your mind starts to wander. She will do absolutley amazing- and you will be stronger than you can ever imagine. :hugg

[jenniferh]

Thanks Jennifer. It really is like an emotional rollercoaster, but it is so reassuring to be able to talk to people that have been through it. Thanks

Oh my goodness I can't believe Addie's surgery is tomorrow already. I am thinking of you and your family, and Kendall is sending her cranio surgery luck dust and kisses Addie's way. Let us know how it goes if you get a sec. She'll do wonderfully...and SO WILL YOU!!! :hugg
