Through the prelims

Today we got through the prelims : blood work, x-rays, EKG. It was over fast and wonderfully uneventful.

The family all made it in. I have a terrific family. I have to fight my desire to curl up in a tight ball around my girl and just be alone. At times all the attention is simply exhausting, I feel like a terrible host at the worst theme party ever. The tiniest things - making beds, getting drinks, dealing with food or such overwhelm me.

But I do need my support system because the wind blows hard.

Tomorrow we go in. Sierra says she's not scared, has her courage at the ready. I'm not scared either either, just a little worn around the edges.

Maybe more than the edges.


3 notes in the crib:

Breathe,I'm praying for you, Sierra and all of your family. I'm sure she will be in the very best care and watched over by outstanding medical personnel. But it is still hard for you, her mother. She is sooo very loved. I'm glad you have family there to help "carry the worry."

It is exhausting to have to keep up a brave front and deal with everything. On the other hand a solid support system is helpful too. Best wishes for you and your daughter I'm sure everything will be fine.
