You guys are awesome!!!
I have people coming in to care for me for 5 full weeks. My children are 15, 11, 7 and 6. They are quite independent, and do a lot of the household work already.
With regards to the daycare, it is an in home daycare. The only kids that will be coming will be my youngest son's best friend who is 7, and another 7 yo and a 10yo. They are only here from 3pm to 5pm. I don't have to do anything for them, my help will handle it all.
If at the end of the 5 weeks my dh and I feel I need help still, my mil and fil will come back for as long as they are needed.
I have myself mentally prepared for the worst pain I have ever experienced. I know that God will never give me more than I can handle. I will have to trust that I have what it takes to get through this.
I need to think positively, yet realistically. I am prepared for this to take as long as it needs to take. I will come out the other side happier and healthier than I was before. It may take me years to get there, but I will get there.
Thank you for yours tears, your good thoughts and your prayers. I treasure them all and know that all you have written is only meant to encourage and strengthen me, and that it comes from loving hearts.
I will find a way to communicate with you as soon as I am able. I will try to get my dh or mil or ds to post for me while I am in the hospital, and until I am able when I get home.
Thanks again,
Tracy
