Surgery Tomorrow*Edit**Edit Again*

Tomorrow early in the morning, we head to Dayton for his surgery. I am anxious about it. I don’t want to case my baby boy pain, but at the same time I am in so much pain I simply can not continue. I also know he needs this so that he doesn’t struggle with speech, and oral motor, and cavities, and even kissing when he is older. 

I still don’t have quiet enoguh money, but it is close enough I am going on a prayer that it will be enough, or the rest will come through. 

It is a 3 hour drive there, and 3 hours back, providing we don’t stop at all, and with 2 little ones you know we will. 

Bonnie is coming, and I am grateful for her. I would be a emotional wreck without her. With her, I play my big sister role and don’t allow things to show thorugh as much somehow calming my nerves.

I wish we were staying the night tonight there, so tomorrow moring would be calmer, but the money wasn’t there… 

I am glad Travis will be at work tomorrow. It keeps him calmer, and it keeps me from snapping at him. We spent some time tonight and talked about tomorrow. It is times like this that give me a glimmer that he truly is in there somewhere. I miss him some days more than I care to admit, but I do. 

So tommorrow. We have Adventures in Odysessy for the car, Samara has a leap pad, We have toys, and snacks and drinks. I cleaned my van, I have my phone and gps. I need to get things gathered, and then insrance cards printed (they just expired) 

The dr. is 5 miles from Wright Patterson, so I can get gas cheaper there on the way home. 

Thank you all for your prayers and support, I am glad to know such wonderful people even if it is only through the internet. 

I wanted to thank everyone who donated, and please leave me a note with your address, so I can send a proper thank you note. No mater how much you donated, I will send one.  You all are so generous. Thank You. 

With 14 hours till surgery he has all but $60 raised. You all are amazing, thank you! I am simply overjoyed!

 

With 12 hours to go I have $480 on my link at the bottom, plus another 15 to my paypal, from a wonderful reader. Which puts me at $495! I can’t believe it. Thank you everyone!!!  I have always beleieved if something is supposed to happen then it will work out without fighting and obstacles.  Apparently this is where and what we are supposed to be doing. It makes me feel better.

 

Now all I need is a rainbow in the morning!

Good luck tomorrow! I hope it all goes well for lil man.

I am the donator named Christine. I’ve been reading your public entries as a lurker for almost a year now, I saw you leave notes on B+’s diary of which I am also an avid lurker, thats how I found you back then. Christine Kupferle 125 Saint Paul St. Apt 319 Rochester, NY 14604 If/when you have time, I would treasure a card from you. You have such a beautiful family and I just know in my heart…

I just know in my heart that you will all be okay. I have to believe that people who try so hard in life and are driven by pure love and kindness just have to be okay. *hugs*

Did my donation through paypal (from WUAH) come in okay? It says it was sent, but haven’t heard anything from you so I wanted to make sure… my friend Brigid also offered a few dollars. I shared it with the WUAH Cafe (a group I am in full of people from WUAH) but so many are struggling… was glad to see at least one other person step up to help, though. 🙂

I hope everything goes well.

YAY at your update! 🙂 🙂 Yes, the $15.. glad it got there. My address is: Sarah Nelson 633 Faculty Drive Brookings, SD 57006 I hope everything goes well! Will be thinking about you guys. 🙂

I am so, so thrilled that it’s basically all come to a head for you in such a positive way, girly! I’ll keep Sabastian in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow that it goes smoothly. 🙂 I don’t envy the drive. We have to drive to Missouri for Gabe’s urological visit, which is basically 3 there and 3 back. It’s still a while out, so I am going to start saving so I can just spend the night.

I’m so happy that everything has worked out and for the most part the stress of it has been relieved for you. I’ll say a prayer for the surgery tomorrow, and also for a smooth trip.

June 11, 2012

That is SO wonderful that you raised all the money!! I hope everything goes smoothly and that this helps him. I wish you the best of luck!!! 🙂

I suppose you’re on the road even now…so I’m praying for safe travel both ways, and for the surgeon to have all the skills needed to make this operation a complete success! *HUG*

Thinking of y’all today! 🙂 Praying everything goes well!

Brigid (my friend on WUAH who made the other offer on your wish) said that she would love to ‘follow you’ and see how Sabastian is doing. I told the group (when I posted your wish to see if anyone could help) that you were also raising money on a blog type site. I told Brigid that I would ask if it is okay if I share your link (to your OD) with her. If not, that’s totally fine, too.. she was just

eager to hear how things go for both of you. 🙂
