1 Week....

It feels like just the other day we were in the waiting room at Dr. Bach's office in Ann Arbor waiting for Sam's check-up. When you expect the same old response every time it can really throw you for a tail spin when the doctors change it up on you... I can remember Dr. Bach's hesitation to tell us it was time for surgery and the tears streaming down my face. Of course I had other plans for us and surgery wasn't one of them.

But now that we have hit the 1 week mark we are soaking up every minute together - even if it means I hit snooze for another 10 minutes in the morning (its a good thing I don't have 9am meetings for awhile), going out with family/friends, getting things buttoned up at work and getting stuff done around the house. As some of you have said I started "nesting" and deep cleaning the house and Sam has done some fall clean-up outside. Aside from that I am in full planning mode. I have a list for everything: what to bring to the hospital for Sam, what to bring for me, playlists to create, questions for the doctors after, What needs to be done at our house etc.

For all of you that know me well you know that I am a true planner at heart and even my best friend Amy has been on the receiving end of the 'Planning Jessica'. A couple years ago Amy had to undergo surgery and I did a ton of research before and during surgery. I showed up after surgery to the hospital - told the nurses I was her sister and walked in the room with my list of questions for the Doctor. The Doctor came in and went over a few things and asked if there was any questions. Amy laughed and pointed to me and said she has all the questions and he answered every one of them.

I am sure the time will fly by between now and then.....thanks for all of your support, thoughts and prayers!!
