When we moms have something "set" in our minds, it is hard to reset that. The flip side is that Luke is doing GREAT! Wow! What a star! <br /><br />I pray that you can reset your clock relatively easily. Enjoy that little man of yours! Have a great week. xoThe Portashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07311852620575462361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907565674880307901.post-15586003564589236752009-12-14T07:55:34.929-08:002009-12-14T07:55:34.929-08:00I am so happy Luke is doing so well that they don&...I am so happy Luke is doing so well that they don't need to do the Fontan any time soon. It is hard to think of any child going in for open heart surgery and when it is your own, it is the hardest thing in the world.

Another year to grow bigger and stronger and be ready for the challenges of the surgery. That is all good, really good. The hidden nugget is that he is a healthy, happy boy right now - a true blessing.

What a blessing to know how well Luke is doing and having some extra time may be the best in the end. Like Angie mentioned to me, you never know what may be available and more effective in helping our little ones and their future. Praying for you on accepting this new plan. I know how I am with my plans :) Hugs to you!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749308200093222013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907565674880307901.post-45252869805392086492009-12-11T20:55:01.730-08:002009-12-11T20:55:01.730-08:00Waiting is one of the most difficult things for me...Waiting is one of the most difficult things for me too. Especially when I think I have it all planned out just right, and especially when it comes to surgery. I totally understand your being ready to get it over with so you can move on and have a "normal" life with no surgery looming. It's a good thing us moms don't make those decisions, huh? <br /><br />Like you said, God&#Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433943003423526914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907565674880307901.post-78709427347179586222009-12-11T19:09:10.358-08:002009-12-11T19:09:10.358-08:00Oh, Jesse!

It really is a gift, not a burden. You are so lucky that Luke is doing well enough to wait. It will be so much easier when you can reason with him all that much better about all the crap he will have to endure. In the mean time, if he drinks a lot of water, make sure he likes apple juice too.
