Update

Just letting ya know that Matthew's first pre-op stuff starts happening September 6th. He will have the "standard" routine pre-op check with our own pediatrician. Children's Hospital has sent the packet we are suppose to get and we should get it by the end of the week. Not only that but they have faxed over to our pediatrician, some stuff for Matthew. So everyone is on the same page. YAY!

Matthew knows he's going to the hospital. Not sure if he knows it's for a surgery though. He may think it's just for a visit, like we've been doing. (with the Craniofacial team) Hopefully, everything will be set to go and nothing will hinder us from keeping the September 10th date.

4 hours of not knowing what is going on with your child..........thinking, wondering, pondering the good (and the maybe not so good)...........man, I want this to happen, but at the same time, it's hard. I don't want to see my son "put to sleep".

It's things like last night that make me think of this. Matthew just all of the sudden, without warning, gave me the biggest hug and said, UP momma. So I picked him up. He just held his head in the crook of my neck and hugged me for the longest time. (ugh.....trying to hold back my tears) Things like that make all the cares of the world just melt away. Everything bothering ya, just melt away........

We are truly blessed with our kids! AMEN!
