A rough day...with bright lights.

Well, we knew the day would come. We found out today that Weston will be having surgery on Wednesday. As I am writing tonight I am watching a beautiful baby boy sleeping. Man he is handsome. We knew it was going to happen, and we knew that one day he would have surgery. Sometimes the waiting game is harder than it seems.

Mom and Dad are taking it pretty hard. We know that Ellie did great through hers and that Weston will do great through his surgery. The hard part is just waiting until you know more. The doctor was not available for the last several days and after hearing that he would be today... and not seeing him we finally did something about it. They called the doctor on his vacation to find out that he had given the team an answer before he left on Thursday... they just didn't get the message to us. So we finally got the correct information and now know of the plan.

We saw pictures today of what to expect when he comes out of surgery... hard images to see but helped to take away the shock value when we get to see him after surgery. The hope is that things will go better than planned.

I hadn't realized how hard it would be to finally put the pieces together. To finally know that Weston will be having surgery, and that healing can begin sooner rather than later. I also never realized how much love you can have for something you barely know. (Jerry and Tami... you were right!)

The blessing and shining light for the day came tonight when we went to supper. We sat down to eat at a pizza place right up the road from the hospital and while eating someone came up to us and gave us some money to cover our supper. I honestly and deeply appreciate the gesture. That random stranger made the day a little better. It also took away such a lost feeling that we have both had... I don't know why... it just did. So thank you to that person... the blessings you gave..were downright amazing.

I will post more in the coming days...again..thanks for the prayers and notes. It has gone a long way in a frustrating and heartbreaking time in our lives. Thanks for keep us there.
