Tomorrow officially is 7 days until Taylor's 2nd open heart surgery. I am, in a very strange way anxiously awaiting the day to come. I feel like it is such a huge weight on my mind. It has encompassed my every thought for the last week. Funny tears have been on the very edge of my heart, not out of fear but out of understanding. Taylor is so incredibly healthy that had Dr's not told us we would have never know that it's time for surgery. Her life has in no way been crippled or even restricted by her disease. She is normal, even more then normal she is incredible. And I realize how blessed we are to have so many normal kid experiences in her life. I know we have been blessed by Heavenly father, I know he knows us and is 100% aware of us.
The first go round was BRUTAL! That's putting it lightly. So knowing what i now know I'm nervous. But that being said I am 100% confident that we are being watched over. I know that Taylor has a very important role on this earth, I learned it when I pleaded with God to let me know if T was going to stay with us or return to him after the first surgery. I know that we are in the best hands possible, and I am completely trusting in their ability and expertise. I look forward to the day we return home from Primary's and she gets to sleep in her own bed. And I look forward to her first bike race and soccer game back where she is faster then ever, she is all ready pretty darn fast.
I have to share my feelings about the endless love and support we have received. Today I had countless friends offer support, prayers, and help. Taylor was so excited to share a story of a friend asking for her to have a safe surgery in prayer. We feel so loved!!!
This week Taylor has an ultra sound to check the circulation in her legs. We will go to a pre surgery meeting and a tour of the hospital as a family. Then on Sunday Taylor will have a history and physical, blood work, and a chest x-ray. And finally Monday morning we go in for surgery. I know I have said it before but we'll take all the prayers we can get!!!
