Yesterday was hard. I feel like I have kept it together pretty well the last couple of weeks, but the last few days I have been on edge. Then Matt called me and told me he was feeling uneasy about everything, and that did it. The string that was holding me together snapped and I fell apart. Unfortunately for my sister, it happened right before I got on the phone with her. Thanks for bearing the brunt of my stress JJ, I know you have enough of your own. Thank goodness for prayer and love from family and friends. By the end of the night I felt calm and peaceful again.
We went and got Everett's pre-op labs done this morning at the children's hospital. When I got there I walked past the oncology and cancer clinic. All I had to do was read those words and I promised myself I would keep it together from now on. Because what WE are dealing with is easy, and we are so BLESSED.
Although I will definitely need a box of kleenex when I have to hand my baby over to the surgeon. But please don't judge me for that.
One more day!

I have enjoyed reading your blog and keeping updated on the progress of Everett. I wish you all didn't have to go through this, but we are fasting and praying today for him, the surgeon, and all of you.
