Counting down

Well, the count down to surgery is turning into hours (about 36!) rather than days. Im almost done getting Caleb packed to go spend a week with my Mom. I need to pack for Kyson and I but my biggest hurdle is deciding what to bring. I've done this before, you would think I would know what to pack. Maybe I'm just having a hard time because it makes it more real...hospital life for at least a week...ugh!!! I'm grateful it is almost here though because that means it will be behind us sooner.

I've been trying to prepare Kyson at least a little bit with what is going to happen. If you ask him about it he will tell you he is having surgery and he is going to get big owies. I'm not sure what goes on in that little brain of his though because he doesn't seem concerned about it. I'm not sure what is better...knowing what is going to happen and being able to prepare for it (but also stress about it) or not really understaning anything and waking up in the worst pain you have ever known (or at least can remember). I have to be honest though, I think I've done enough stressing for the two of us:)

Well, I'm going to try and get some packing done and then I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is pre-op and Thursday we have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers. We appreciate them and feel the strength they bring.
