Tomorrow is the big day and we start very early in the morning. Jake spent some time in his favorite jumping toy before downing his last bottle and falling fast asleep. We are anxious and nervous but know that the sooner this day comes and goes the sooner we can put it behind us.
Our boy Jake has taught us so much about ourselves, deeply impacting our perspective on life. Jake is such a fighter and he has already faced so much from his syndrome to severe reflux to hand surgery. None of this has stopped him from being a happy go lucky baby with a big gummy smile. Yesterday the boys took their first bath together and Jake was so happy to splash around with his brother and giggled in delight. He is our sweet baby boy and we are sad for what he must face. We know this will only help him moving forward but its hard as a parent when you know you can't spare your child the pain he must face. I'm not sure how we are comprehending what we are asked to do tomorrow. We will face 8 hours of nervous anticipation once we hand over Jake to the surgeons knowing they are operating on his skull and brain. Then stuck in a waiting room praying for the moment he is returned once again to us.
We take this step forward as family minute by minute relying on our love for our boy to get us through. Tomorrow as you go about your Friday, take a pause at any point and just think good thoughts for Jake so that our little fighter has all the ammo he needs to get through this very delicate surgery.
We will try to update the blog tomorrow night so everyone knows it went ok.
With Love,
Lance and Sam
