Brooke Update

Brooke's surgery is scheduled.

If you don't know what I am talking about...go back to this post.

She is having the first surgery of two surgeries on March 26th. One month from today.

I have talked about the surgery with Brooke and she is OK with what is going on. She is excited to not wear her headband anymore but does not really understand the pain that is going to be involved.

The surgery is at 6:00am on Monday the 26th. Its being done at the children's hospital in Spokane. Abby is staying with some dear friends and we will head to Spokane the night before and stay in a hotel.

Its a short outpatient surgery. So we should be able to go home in a few hours. At home I have a large stack of movies and new game and activities to play while she is recovering. 

My heart just hurts thinking about this surgery. I don't know any parent that would feel different. I know it's the best thing for her but no matter what it's hard to put your child through pain. I love her so much. I want the best for her and full hearing is best.  I feel lucky that there is a way to improve her hearing I just want this to be over. I know she is in good hands with a wonderful doctor, lots of family and friends, and a mom that will worry enough for everyone! :)
