Yesterday was Mom's surgery to remove her cancer. Liam and I went to be with her, and set with Dad while waiting. It made for a long day. She had testing first, prep, her surgery, and recovery time. We were there from 930a until 7p. I really just sat and held Liam and visited with Dad all day, but I was exhausted from the worrying about Mom.
The surgery went well. She recovered fairly quickly and the pain meds seemed to be taking care of any aches or soreness. We anxiously await the pathology report of the removed lymph node. Hopefully we will know something on Friday. We are just thinking positive, saying prayers and keeping our fingers crossed.
On a good note, Liam was the center of attention and
brightened up the day for several at the surgery center. Everyone that walked by wanted to see him. Nurses that were not caring for Mom would come to her room because they heard there was a cute baby around. One older lady sat down next to me while I was feeding him. I wear a breast feeding cover that covers most of his body, so all she could only see was his legs and feet. She carried on about how cute a baby he was.
Dad really enjoyed spending the day with him. He thinks he has the greatest personality and is so laid back. Liam was definitely full of smiles and giggles and made a lot of people smile in amidst the worry of the big C. Liam doesn't kn
ow it, but that precious little smile of his is priceless.
