The Daily Hailey

In one week, Dekker will have had his complete surgery, recovered from the anesthetic, come home, eaten supper, and will be in bed. I can’t believe its coming so fast! I have great anticipation for that day, as opposed to apprehension. I genuinely trust that the doctors know what they’re doing and that God will guide their hands and keep my son safe. I’m more nervous about the recovery but am doing everything in my power not to focus on that just yet. Its a reality. It might end up being a challenging two weeks, but its only two weeks. At that point, Dekker will be recovered and who knows what else! I know lots of people, including lots of you guys, are rooting for us and anticipating news of a successful procedure. Well, so are we! I promise, we’ll keep you in the loop.

As for news of the day, there isn’t much to report, and likely won’t be this week. Sometimes I wonder if I should continue the “daily” part of this blog, because I really don’t lead a super exciting life at all. Its not that I don’t want to write every day, because I LOVE this routine of recapping and recording. That is probably enough of a reason to keep going. Anyway, this will likely be a boring week of posts, as we are hermitting it up in here. Dekker thrives in his routine of being at home in his jammies, playing toys and being relatively quiet. I feel like we’ll have to push him quite a bit in the next little while, so I’m happy to keep him comfy and feeling as safe as possible as long as I can.

One thought from today – I began to dream of summer. Waskesiu Lake. I didn’t get to the lake once last summer. Granted, I was very pregnant and very sore and the drive alone probably would have been a bit miserable. But I’m itching to get there as soon as summer comes. I’m thinking we should buy our season pass already, as we’d get early bird prices, but then what if we don’t get there? We’re about a 3 hour drive away. What do you guys think? Worth the risk of wasting $75? Its hard to know, but I had SUCH cabin fever last summer and I’m not doing that again. I cannot wait to get to the lake!

I can’t wait to get him back out on the beach.
