Surgery is on for tomorrow. We will arrive at 7am and the actual procedure will be at 10:30. It has been another whirlwind day as Elliott sprained his ankle and popped out his growth plate (didn't even know you could do that) and is now in a walking cast. I'm so heartbroken that I won't be there in the morning to get him settled in at school. Thankful that my parents will be there, but I wanted to be there for him. I'm a little comforted that he is kind of excited about showing his friends and getting their signatures!
We also got news today that one of the test results they were waiting for from the first biopsy came back. It is the Her2Neu, which I would attempt to explain if I understood it better myself right now. But it was positive. We thought it would be negative, of course. Right now, this means that I will be doing chemotherapy after the surgery. Something we were hoping to avoid. I had felt kind of numb to the whole thing over the weekend. Other people would be talking to me and be crying and I couldn't come up with a single tear if I tried. Today I screamed and scared Elliott half-to-death. Now my heart is pounding from the anxiety I feel about the surgery tomorrow and the upcoming treatments and how they are going to affect my family.
I know we have hundreds of people praying for us tomorrow and it's incredibly comforting knowing that. I already feel that one of the blessings I was to get out of this journey is to know that we are surrounded by people who love us. That will be a post all its own someday :) Please just continue to pray for us tomorrow and the following days and weeks!
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
