Pre-Surgery update

Tomorrow I head down to the hospital for my pre-op appointment.  Then, Monday I have the lovely bowel prep to do.  Finally, surgery is at 7:30am on Tuesday.  I'm expecting to be in the hospital until Thursday afternoon-ish.  Before then, I've got a LOT to get dealt with and it's not working so well with 4 clingy grumpy little ones.  But, they need me... and that's what I need to be doing more right now.  I just wish Josiah felt a bit better.  The poor little man is terribly grumpy.

Okay... I said I would write more about the surgery and I guess today is the best time to do that.  After Josiah was born, I ended up with a significant pelvic/vaginal prolapse.  After several doctor's visits and prayer, we decided that the best option was a hysterectomy with pelvic repair.  I will have at least 6-8 weeks of serious recovery.  I won't even be able to lift Josiah during that time.

Since I am trying to ship my laptop back to HP for repair during this time, I'm not sure exactly when I'll be able to post updates.  But, my wonderful husband set me up with another "loaner" laptop.  So, it shouldn't be too far out.

I praise the Lord that I have family and friends that are here and willing to help us during this very difficult time.  I'm still very nervous and weepy.  I'm looking forward to being healed... I'm not really looking forward to the method that gets us there.

Time to run... Josiah needs another breathing treatment and some snuggle time.  He really needs a nap, but just can't seem to get to/stay asleep right now.

Godspeed.... ~ Tiffani
