Preparing for Wills 14th surgery.....

I never thought my 3 1/2 year old boy would be having surgery 14 times! My heart aches thinking about it. But these have been necessary and they have made him who he is today! You might think its something you get use to after you have your 10th, 11th, 12th or 13th surgery! I am here to tell you that it's not easy! It is ACTUALLY HARDER! This surgery may be minor compared to some of his previous surgeries, but I have a feeling of uneasiness. I am SCARED! I can't sleep well! I just want Will to be done with surgeries! As I reflect on his last 3 years, my heart is happy, sad, and grateful! I'm happy this miracle boy survived coming into this world with great difficulty. I am sad for all he has had to endure. I am grateful for the profound care he has been blessed with! Will makes us realize that life is so precious and to not take anything for granted. As we prepare for surgery on Monday the 12th of August, I ask that you please keep this sweet boy in your prayers as well as my family! We need them now more than ever! I pray that the Doctors will be able to find the reasoning of difficulty in capping his trach. I pray that it is a minor complication! I pray that he will have no issues with anesthesia. Some of the things we Love about him are: *We Love that he has to give Brynn a kiss every night at bed! ( he only will stick his cheek out for us to kiss him, but he gives Brynn a nice big smooch) *We Love that BIG SMILE and those precious giggles! (Especially when he gets tickled and then he will sign more when you are finished) *We Love his humor! *We Love that he will come and find you to give you the remote to the t.V. Because he wants to watch Mickey Mouse! *we love that his daddy is his BEST friend! * we Love his determination! *We love that he is the BEST helper with Brynn (helps push her wheelchair, helps change her diaper, and loves to have story time with her) LOVE YOU WILLIAM!
