Ok, so you know when someone looks at you and says "this can not happen," and then you absolutely know that it will--that is my life. We spent 3 hours at the hospital today going through pre-op and getting Kylie ready and answering all of our questions and, for me, allowing reality and panic to really sink in. I got home, got completely overwhelmed and cancelled Joy School for tomorrow, which is supposed to be at my house. About 20 minutes later Kylie starts crying and I went upstairs--she was napping--only to find her covered in diarrhea, which was soon followed by vomit. This continued for about a half an hour. I cried. She could not get sick. I called David and yelled--yea because it was his fault, right?! Sorry dear. The surgeon's office was called. More things we don't totally understand, but because of the intensity of the surgery--she will be placed on the heart and lung machine during those 3 insane, scary hours--and if she has any kind of virus, being placed on that machine will spread the virus throughout her entire body--leading to serious infection. Super fun. So, she has been pushed back to March 17th--the day of the Irish. David thinks I should paint her toenails green so they don't pinch her during surgery. :) So, I guess the next week will be spent living in a bubble, doing all that we can do to keep her healthy.
I am a planning kind of girl and this is really really throwing me for a loop. And of course this just makes us one week closer to the baby coming. Boy oh boy.

oh my goodness Amy. I so wish I was there! I am sure you will receive all the help you need and you just let others serve you. I am the same way with the planning and get stressed like that but so I can only imagine what you're going through. That's why it's happening though, you know? I am such a planner and that's why my Kylee came early, to throw me off my scheduled, organized life! :) Oh honey, we love you and you are in our prayers. Even at dinner last night our Kylee prayed for you guys. Every prayer, I'm not kidding! I like the green polish idea.
also, maybe she got sick for a reason? maybe she's meant to have the surgery on the 17th for some unknown reason we may never know? Sometimes I wondered why did I have to have a preemie but then realized it was such a huge blessing in disguise that I won't get into. Love ya!
ok, sorry for all the comments. I will have Ben call Dave or text him but just in case I forget to have him do that can you e-mail me your new address? annaleehunsaker@hotmail.com Ya know, in your spare time? :)
you should totally paint her toenails green! i sure hope you can keep her well until the surgery. i wish i was there to help out too! we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. good luck amy!
I agree, paint the toenails green.
