It's getting near....YIKES!!!!!

Alright, we have finally come to a decision about surgery. After 3 opinions, $64 of requesting x-rays & Dr. notes from TX, and numerous conversations b/t us we are going through with it. This has been a long road and I know that it is going to be even longer after next week. What do ya do with so many choices? I 100% feel that God has led us in the right direction, now all we need to do is trust HIM even more so and know that HE is taking care of us!!!! As the time gets closer, it gets a little more overwhelming and scarier by the minute. We are leaving next Thursday to pre-register at the hospital and have more blood drawn. We have to be at the hospital at 5 a.m. Friday and the surgery will start at 7 a.m. I was told that it would be a 5 hour surgery and that we would be in the hospital for 5 to 7 days. I even had one doctor tell me that it was going to hurt like hell! Now I could be wrong about this....but this doesn't sound like something you tell a patient.

Want to hear a funny story? It's not really funny it's just a story that I think is somewhat odd! Im supposed to give a unit of blood just incase it were needed. Well I march my happy lil self over to Lifeshares Blood Center and find out it is going to cost me $300 to donate MY own blood. Needless to say, I called the dr.'s assistant and asked how important it is to donated my blood. When I wanted the x-rays from TBI I had to pay money as well. Why should I have to pay more money for my bones and blood? It just doesn't make sense to me?!?!

Anyways ,I ask and beg you all to keep my family and myself in your prayers especially on Friday. I know it gets a little harder for everyone as it nears!!! I know nothing is going to happen to me, but it's amazing how much you learn when talking to your spouse about the death topic

On a happier note....we are leaving today for 6-flags. We are going with 5 other couples and are coming back on Sunday. We are looking forward to this. To be honest, there has been so much to think about that we just remembered we were going to 6-flags yesterday. If I can remember correctly we have had this trip planned well before school got out. Anyways, we will let you know more about 6-flags and hopefully we will have pics.

Also, I think I heard Bradley say that he is going to try...key word being try to post while we are in Plano next week. This way if anyone cares to know how things are going you can read all about us on this blog. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer!!!!
