Anticipation

So tomorrow is the day.  Surgery.  Possible 5 hours of anesthesia for Carson and sitting in a waiting room for Dave and I.  The anticipation for this day has been lingering and not it's come to a head!  I can't concentrate on anything today.  I had my mind focused last week because work was very busy (month end, concert, three weddings, etc), but today it's just another day at the office.  Just tieing up loose ends before I'm not here for a couple of week...I should have just stayed home!

Yesterday we celebrated Carson's "Birthday".  His actual Birthday is June 10th, but with the surgery and recovery we decided before surgery would be better.  And it also was a really fun day for Carson and Kaylee which was something I really wanted for them since the next two weeks might be a little stressful.  We went up to Mom and Dad's and Dad made Chicken, we opened presents and ate cake.  We got Carson a Water & Sand table for his big birthday present and the kids Loved it!  I looked and looked at reviews for those tables and finally decided on one.  Pretty sure i could have given them just a bucket of water and a hose and they would have equally loved it  :)

Carson failed at cake again this year.  Because he wasn't eating anything last year I got his his own little "smash" cake again this year...he wanted NOTHING to do with it.  Wouldn't event try it.  Oh well there is always next year, right?  I decided I'm going to get him his own little cake every year until he acutlly eats it.  There were elmo cars on the cake and eventually he did drive the cars through his cake.

So this afternoon we fill find out our check in time for surgery.  Carson does have a bit of a cold right now so prayers that this doesn't hold up surgery would be great.  Also, there is a chance that they go in there and the vein that they need to "hook up to" isn't open/working and they won't be able to do the proceedure.  Prayers that this is not the case would be great too. 

Thanks so much for the support.  I'll keep updating this once I know more of what's going on in the next couple of days.  I'll also add Birthday picutures once I get them downloaded...probably tomorrow.

Pre-Op Tomorrow

Wow it's been almost month since I last updated!  I think I've started about 12 posts in the last month, but got distracted.

Guys surgery is scheduled for Wednesday June 1st.  His pre-op appointment is tomorrow afternoon.  I'm starting to get very nervous as the days get closer!  All I can do is trust that we are doing the right thing and pray for healing and safety for out little man.  Ugh though it's hard not to stress about it.  Yesterday at church a song really got me...

"You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There maybe pain in the night but joy comes in the morning

And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails"

Although this is a scary surgery and there are lots of what it's and what not I'm really looking forward to the joy in the morning!  Can't wait for this step in the process to get Guy better to be over and successful and for us to move on.  I trust that we are here in Iowa for a bigger reason than any of us could have anticipated and this surgery will be successful.  I have lots of faith and hope on the outcome of this.  I'm going to hold onto that and focus on that in the next two weeks and not the scary stuff.  At least I'm going to try to really hard. 

Guy's 2nd birthday is on June 10th so another hope we have is the Carson will be at home to celebrate and eat cake.  Last year he wasn't really eating solids at all so I'd really like to see him smash a cake on this birthday!

Run down of what's been going on at our house in the past month...

Easter was spent with the family in Solon.  Saturday we were hosted at the Wulfekuhle house with lots of the "Goldsmith's" in attendance.  Guy and Dave got lots of practice with Stairs and we had a nice time with family there.  There are so many little people in that family again...if I'm counting right there were 7 under the age of 4.  Sunday mom had a nice lunch at her reception hall with the Supple family.  It was great to see everyone there.

Soccer for Kaylee is in full swing.  She isn't too into it, but she tries.  She definitely likes it better when the weather is nice out. 

We went up to Solon to see Corri off for prom.  She looked beautiful as always.  Makes me very thankful to live here and get to participate in some of her events.

Pretty much that's about it.  Lots of trips to the park and the gym are excitement around here.  Mowing the grass is something new we've been tackling...Never having a house before it's something we have not done in a long time.  Grass in Iowa grows REALLY FAST!  We are looking forward to Dave's Mom coming out for a week started this next weekend. 

That's about it for us :)
