Hi LeighAnn,
Thanks for your message. I went today and bought soft pj's, pear juice, and ensure (we always have ice cream ) and am getting ready. I am thankful for the medical care we have here and looking forward to getting this behind us. I'm encouraged that you and your son were here in January and doing well already. I suspect what you said is exactly true--my daughter and I will share a special bond when this is all behind us.
I have a few questions:
Did you stay in the hospital the entire time? The way I feel right now is that I am not leaving there for anything. My mom is flying in and my husband is taking time off work, so we will have plenty of help/support.Is there anything you suggest I bring with me to the hospital? I bought 3 books, have a bible study I've been working on, and will bring the obvious essentials, but did you shower there and everything? At this point, I'm planning on it but am not sure how that looks. We live about 40 mins from the hospital, so it is not impossible for me to go home.
Also, was your son up for visitors? Several people have asked me if they can come see Claire. At this point, she says she wants visitors, so everyone is jumping on board. It's so sweet. I just don't want to have people come up there and be disappointed bc Claire isn't up to seeing anyone. We did start a carepages thingy last night so I think that will be a great way for Claire to keep everyone posted and get messages that are encouraging to her.
We have our pre-op appt tomorrow. I really like the dr and am looking forward to seeing the hospital and getting things moving forward. Thanks for your message and thoughts and prayers. Have a great night.
