SDR • Day 1

SDR • Day 1

For the record, I really want to title this, "the day from hell". But they say that the worst day in the whole healing process is day 3. So, I guess we'll wait for our impending doom. Day 1 started fabulously. In spite of our neighbors snoring, I was able to get about 4 hours of solid rest and it seems like Finley got a pinch more than that. Daddy relieved me from my 'shift' and I was able to get out and get some fresh air. I desperately needed it, just to regain a sense of normalcy.

I've blogged the last couple days, but looking at how many new visitors we have, I wanted to compile our story into one updated Blog Post.

Here is Our story.

SDR • Surgery Day

SDR • Surgery Day

I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep a wink.  That 4am alarm crept up on me like the boogie man!  My husband and I rolled quietly out of bed and freshened up (as fresh as one can get themselves at 4am on no sleep). As I was putting on my clothes, I kept thinking, "I'm gonna be in these for a couple days, probably."  Every other hospital trip I've been on involves me in the same clothes for days.

We woke up feeling very well rested! We kept Fin on her normal routine, a little iPad time with her favorite fiber breakfast bar, which she fondly refers to as a "chocolate brown bar". My husband and I chit-chatted about our anxiousness over tomorrow and what we may get done today.
