Surgery Date

On Monday the scheduler called to pick a date for Mia's Fontan surgery.  Tuesday, September 17th.   I got off the phone with her and I didn't know how to feel.  It's a weird feeling.  We wanted to know so badly when the surgery would be, but now that we know, I really don't want to know.  I'm not even sure how that makes sense.

It's hard for me to wrap by brain around the fact that in about 3 months we'll be taking her in  for her pre-op day on September 16th and then going in early the next morning for the surgery.  Between now and then we will have one check-up in Broomfield in July.  Aside from that we can enjoy the summer.  For the last few days, every time I look at Mia, I can't help but think how hard this is going to be.  And I know I'll have that thought every single day from now until surgery day.
