Owen did not fall asleep until around eleven last night. I think I could have fallen asleep by eight last night. He came to me every fifteen minutes or so. I think the noise and the heat got us both but thankfully once he fell asleep he was out for the rest of the night and proudly announced he slept all night.
Today was port installation party day. I was more concerned about the anesthesia than I was about the surgery. I generally have a hard time with getting numb or being put under. Not today. It was about as smooth as it could all possibly go. They called before I left to see if I could come in early and thankfully I had already prepared to be there in plenty of time in case I didn’t go to the right place.
My doctor was with me in each step, checking to see where I was in the process, and she even came to check on me before the procedure started. I had an amazing, caring team from start to finish. To be the calmest I could be meant having as much routine and understanding for Owen. He went to stay with his grandma and one of my friends took me to the hospital.
We met my mom before my procedure and he had a great time with her. He even went in the pool for a few minutes. I kept her updated throughout the day as I could. My friend brought me to pick up Owen and then home. I am so thankful for the incredible support and everyone putting my needs and requests first.
He was incredibly calm all night long and talked to me about my port that we are calling a “medicine box.” He is excited about going to his therapy tomorrow and can’t wait to see some of his favorite people. I am so glad he likes going to therapy and the progress he is making.
Nothing better than hearing my sweet baby O ask Siri for all the phrases and words in all the languages and singing with her. His laughter is the medicine I need. He is starting to ask her more in-depth phrases and I can tell he understands more than he speaks. He will occasionally say words and phrases that he has learned and it makes me so happy to see his excitement for languages.
I always say why do today what I can put off and not do again tomorrow. Today I am saying thank you God for all the days and I am going to live each one to the fullest. I’ll probably still procrastinate some because that’s who I am but enjoy the rollercoastery ride of this thing called life and make the most of each day.
Straight to bed, Owen went and he fell asleep quickly. I hope no repeat of his anxiousness from last night and that he sleeps through the night. I prayed to God for a blessed day for everyone and I know that my prayers were answered. The joy in life is better than the worry of regret for not going after your dreams. Dream the incredible dream and make it happen. Smiles to all and donut daze!
