Seriously though, I ...Savings?? What are those? ;)<br /><br />Seriously though, I can't imagine being in limbo like that. I, too, am a planner, especially when it involves something stressful like this. I hope you get concrete answers tomorrow!JSmith5780https://www.blogger.com/profile/16954759123115546248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584570468185542765.post-6085598778600401212011-01-02T18:23:24.980-06:002011-01-02T18:23:24.980-06:00What Elaine said!

I'm SO sorry that on top of all the emotional drama that goes hand in hand with your child having radical (NOT run of the mill) surgery...you also have to deal with the unknown factors. I hate that for you. <br /><br />This line got me right in the sappy sweet spot...<br /><br />"Parents who have comforted their kids through these things may know what I'm talking about when I say it's the single most heartbreaking yet endearing experience. He always makes the most precious expressions that melt my heart at the core. A look that's half pure sweetness and half sheer confusion." <br /><br />This may sound weird and terrible. But sometimes I miss that. Not the clusters of seizures. And not miss...as in I wish we'd chosen differently. But I miss that beautiful soulful innocence he used to have... Trevy is still beautiful. But he's lost that innocence. It's been replaced with cheeky. Which is endearing in its own way too... <br /><br />Anyway...<br /><br />Love you, hon. Please...please...please...know that you can always call me. Or email me. Or not. Whatever you need. I want to support you... <br /><br />...danielleDanielle https://www.blogger.com/profile/04484341169494632974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584570468185542765.post-71823658135414687052010-12-31T16:54:46.210-06:002010-12-31T16:54:46.210-06:00Why not plan on being there the 7th and if it chan...Why not plan on being there the 7th and if it changes to the 10th, make adjustments. Its probably easier than just hanging in limbo.<br /><br />For some decision making issues, like driving back and fourth, why don't you weigh the advice of people like Elaine and Danielle and Ken. I understand the financial issues. But maybe some people who have been there can assist in making some somewhat rational decisions during an unbelievably emotional time.<br /><br />Four hours/day in a car seems like a lot during good times. Be thankful you have savings and that it is an option.<br /><br />Lots of us will be thinking about you and your family. I don't think anyone can really understand unless they've stood in your shoes.

To have to think and rethink and think again about what needs to be done in the next two weeks. I am here for you. Call me anytime.Sophie's Story by Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415731740298071423noreply@blogger.com
