I am so glad that today is here.
The building anticipation of the last four weeks is quickly coming to a finish. Over the entire weekend, I just wanted today to be here. I want the surgery over. I want to know that my baby is okay. I want to hear the good news that they were able to reduce her hip and she is in the cast.
Her surgery is scheduled for 7:30. We have to be there at 6:00.
Her cutoff for milk was 1:30, and for clear liquids (Pedialyte) was 4:00.
She normally sleeps from 9:30ish to 5am. I didn't wake her at 1:00 for a breastfeed (mostly because I went to bed around midnight), but I did pick her up at 3:30 for a bottle of Pedialyte. It took 30 minutes, but she drank 5oz. It was weird giving her a bottle.
She's snoozing away now - oblivious to the upcoming events for the day. I'm glad for that. I'm happy every day that this was caught early so that we can be on the road to recovery before she ever remembers it.
I've never prayed this much in my life. Right now I have an eerie sense of calm about me. I hope it continues throughout the day.
