We leave to go to UVA in the morning for Sydney's heart cath. This cath is being done to look at the heart, measure pressures, get a better picture of it's function... so a plan can be better made for her surgery in Oct. It will be a long and tiring day. I am grateful that Steve and Josie will be there with me and Steve's parents can watch Aubrey.
I have been really struggling on how to tell Sydney what is going on with her. I think I will tell her tomorrow, that we are going to the hospital to look at her "boo boo". Maybe tell her that she will have a little nap while they look? I just don't know what to say to her. She is almost 3....but she is only just 3! I need to find a way that is most age appropriate to tell her what is going on.
We are still working on the plan for what we are doing with Aubrey. I am grateful for all of the wonderful offers from so many of you. I will try to make her plan after the cath. My brain just cannot handle anymore. I, for a few days, just shut down from all of the information and anxiety. I am doing a little better...but it comes and goes.
I will keep you all posted as I get more information from UVA.
Love to all, Christy
We LOVE you all! We'll look for updates on Syd. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers constantly.
