Monday

This coming Monday is the day.  The day Baby J has his second surgery.  The day that will *hopefully* be the start of mont days to come with lots of messy diapers.  I have been doing my best to prepare myself for this day by talking with other HD parents, finding "recipes" for homemade diaper rash creams and wipes (apparently the diaper rash after pull-through is really bad), planning what to pack for myself, Baby J, and Mr. E (he will stay with Grandma and Grandpa), and trying not to think about how long my baby will be under anesthesia.

Lawrence will bless Baby J before surgery, with the help of my dad, maybe more.  And we will be praying for him to handle the surgery well and recover quickly.

Part of me feels that Monday can't come soon enough and another doesn't want it to come at all.  Wish us luck and wave goodbye to his stoma!
