I was so strong for every moment before bedtime. Then it was time to start the bedtime routine and it really hit me that this was happening tomorrow. I realize that it's only 3 months and that we aren't talking about forever. But this is my baby girl. And she's going to be uncomfortable and everything about taking care of her is going to get a little more challenging. Add that to working full time with three young children, and it's just a tad overwhelming. But, it's doable. And I will do it. And soon it will be second nature and all will be good.
But right now, at this moment, it's hard.
Our 6 1/2 year old has had a high fever all day today. Our 4 year old has had a low grade fever all day today. The 6 1/2 year old has felt so sick, but was such a trooper. The 4 year old has been the most well behaved that I think I've ever seen him. I am praying hard that Katie does not wake up with a fever. If she does, then we have to postpone the procedure. Again. And, I really don't want to postpone it.
Please pray for the health of the big brother and sister. Please pray for the health of Katie. And, please pray for the anxiety that I am feeling over tomorrow. My husband is a rock. He's staying so strong. I don't know how he's doing it.
Tomorrow begins at 5:30 AM when I have to wake Katie to feed her. She can't eat 4 hours prior to her procedure, so she needs to be done eating by 6. The procedure is at 10:15 AM.
Tomorrow begins our jouney.
Enjoying her last bath for the next three months!
Enjoying her last nap without her spica cast!
My motto for the next three months
I found these jammies in her drawer for sizes 6-9 months. I hope they still fit her in July!
Keeping Katie and all of you in our prayers...it is so hard to not worry about life in general, but even more so when it is something involving our children. May God fill you with His peace, strength, and courage to run this particularly challenging race. And may this be the speediest 3 months ever! xoxo
