Showers and Surgery

Yesterday was busy. I went to two showers. They were both very sweet and I love both sets of parents-to-be. One was for the ladies during lunch and the other was a couples shower.
I seriously think all first time showers should be co-ed. The guys get into it almost as much as the girls and it's a great excuse to party. We left before it was over just trying to have Squirt on schedule as much as possible before the operation. Which brings me to the surgery that has all my thoughts consumed.
I'm sad. I don't want him to have to do it but he needs it. The build up and the wait is the worst. We were naive the first surgery. My biggest concern was how he was going to handle the anesthesia. My biggest concern this time is they won't finish and we will have to do a third surgery, plus the pain. He was in pain the last time and it was hard but healed rather quickly. Now that he is more mobile, I'm not sure what to even expect. We had someone verbalize they wanted to see him before he went in to surgery just in case. Just in case? Stay home(that is putting it nicely). I have that thought but I really don't want to hear anyone say it, ya know?
So, today I am sad. Tomorrow will be bad but clouds will clear and it will be fine. Please pray they finish. I want this chapter to be done other than an occasional check-up.
I'll try to update on here tomorrow and hopefully with some pictures of the new hospital.
Keep him and all the children who need a little extra prayer in your thoughts :)
Much thanks and love to you all!
