I cannot begin to tell all of you how very much your support means. I've been awake since 5AM, I just don't think I can get through this. 5 years ago, our son was born with a life threatening congenital cardiac defect. We thougth THAT was our Hell. He (our DS) has been through it all, but now my husband. I just can't take much more.
Last night I told the kids we were "postponing" our trip to the BC in Sept. We were scheduled to leave on the 17th. It was the hardest thing I had to do. They don't understand why Daddy is so sick. My 7 yr old DD just kept asking "well what if he's better by then, can't we still go?" How do you look your kids in the eyes and say Daddy isn't going to get better by then. The kids know we are going to see a "special" Dr in Boston who can help daddys tummy. We haven't mentioned the big "C" word to them yet, til we know exactly what this is. They do know that he may need an operation. And, they're used to us going to Boston, because my son goes into Children's every few months to see his cardiologist there.
In the meantime, my DH had another abdominal CT yesterday. This time with IV and oral contrast. We had hoped to have that reading done, but I guess we'll have to wait until Mon.
Thank you all so, so very much again. I know that the prayers of our freinds and family got us through our worst nightmare 5 years ago when my son was born, and I know they can work again. God Bless ALL of you!
