We've been bumped...

Posted on 5:33 PM by paritory
Pre-op was all morning. Six hours of Everett being poked, examined, and us being told every last detail of the surgery, the risks and the recovery. The doctors and nurses we met were amazing, but as you can imagine the endless appointments were exhausting. We left this afternoon with our heads wrapped around what would happen tomorrow. We felt at peace.


BUT
At 4 pm we received a call from our surgeon's PA telling us that he had bad news. Everett's surgery was being bumped to Friday because a baby needed emergency surgery tomorrow morning. My stomach turned--for us and for them. This waiting game has been excruciating for me. This may sound weird but I was actually glad the surgery day was upon us so that very soon it would be behind us. To many of you two days probably doesn't sound like a lot, but to me thinking/obsessing/worrying about this surgery for two more days sounds like forever. At the same time, only five months ago we were the family bumping another child's surgery so that our son could receive emergency heart surgery. That is a scary place to sit. Everything is so uncertain, fresh and raw. The world spins and you have no control. I ache for this family, and we are definitely praying for them. I really want to know who they are and I really wish we could help--but we'll leave that in the Lord's hands.

In the meantime, thank you for everyone's prayers, thoughts and love. We will keep you updated with all things Evie very soon!
