In 10 hours will be heading into surgery. But it seems like this week has gone soooo slow. We told Alexander last night and he seemed to take it o.k. He told me that then I won't have to wear a bra...just a shirt. Interesting that he realized that. He was upset and cried...he doesn't want them to take my boobies....I did explain that it was necessary to keep mommy healthy. I explained that I will have boobies again soon...and of course....he wanted to know what day!!! I told him that it may take a while because I might need to have some medicine first. At this point I changed directions and told him how much fun he will have on Saturday going to 2 Easter egg hunts! Candy...the great distractor!! This evening he asked me, "They are going to take your boobies next Friday, right mommy?" I explained that it was tomorrow and of course he said...yeah, next Friday! Step-by-step....that's how we will take it!
Thanks again for everyone's prayers and support! Keep up the prayers!!! Pray for the doctors, nurses etc as well!

I'm so glad to hear his reaction Beth, and I wish you and Jason and Alexander the best of everything today. You're in our thoughts big-time!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say, his realization and pronouncement that you won't have to wear a bra...I mean, this procedure is so hopeful in that it will make you healthy but also so melancholy...but I can't help but smile a big smile thinking how cute and smart Alexander is as he finds the bright side in the undergarment situation!
My prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteAllow yourself to trust in the process of life and what you need will come to you easily and effortlessly.
All the best from me and my family.

I just want you to know that my prayers are with you and your family. It seems that we hear that so much that sometimes it seems to lose it's impact. I know for a fact that when my mother went through her battle with breast cancer, God is Who brought her through. He is a good God and he answers prayer. I will continue to pray for you and please know that I am here if there is anything else I can do for you.
