The last couple of days have been a whirlwind. I went from enjoying every last moment to being worried about my son’s life, to worrying I’d have to cancel surgery and then back to normal. Whew.
Yesterday, Corvus had a febrile seizure, which was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. He’s okay, I’m learning these things are common, and we’re back on track for surgery. Febrile seizures are caused by a sudden spike in temperature, so I spent most of the day worried I’d caught whatever bug Corvus has. So far so good (I’m knocking on wood right now).
Then there is the winter storm we’re under. All weekend I thought we were going to have to get up ridiculously early to brave rush hour and the snowstorm to get to the surgery center by 6:30am. Then my sister made the recommendation that we just get a hotel room nearby. Brilliant!
I’m literally writing this as John drives to Plymouth. The kids are with their grandparents and we’re going to enjoy a nice evening together and then walk across the street in the morning for surgery.
It also happens to be John’s birthday. I decided at the last minute that I wanted to commemorate the surgery by getting some boudoir shots done. My mother had asked me if I wanted some previously. We took them Sunday and despite the whole ordeal with Corvus, I still ended up with some really nice shots. I surprised John with some edited versions this evening. I highly recommend doing this if you are getting the surgery done. It’s a nice memento of the old girls. [Images removed at a later date].
Tonight I’m nervous. I’m excited. Basically, nothing has changed. Except I now have a free trial of HBO Now. Bring it on.
