Wahoo!!! We have a DATE!!!

Sera's surgery has finally been scheduled!!! She will have 3 docs for a 4.5 hour surgery, so that complicated things among the other complications of lost 3D CT scans. HE has his hand in everything and they will be done during the summer while I am off work!! Sera has been down with pneumonia all this past week and has been such a sick little girl that I have almost used all my sick days already this school year and the deducts for a single parent hit hard. While part of me would love to have her have it sooner, and just stomach the deduct time, the docs even feel this is the best time for her growth wise.

She is very comfortable with me now and wants me when she is sick, which will definitely help when she tries to rock and bang herself when she is uncomfortable. I do believe that she will let me hold her, since she is enjoying having me rock her to sleep more and more each night now. I will worry that she will still want to rock herself hard and possibly disrupt her stitches, but that worry is easing too, each night she snuggles in with me to rock her to sleep in the rocking chair now.

I just love being out of LIMBO!!! :-) I can make plans now for spring break!!
