Speaking of next week, Aimee’s full spinal fusion surgery is on Tuesday. We will check in at 6am for a 7:30am start time. It is scheduled to be 8 hours long... oof. She will head straight to the ICU once the procedure is done and when she is settled we will be able to join her there. I will update here throughout for all of you who are praying and loving Aimee from afar.
Aimee is doing really really well following the ostomy placement a few weeks ago. She is much more comfortable and sleeping better than she has in years! I had no idea that it would improve her sleep and that much of her discomfort throughout the night was due to cramping. I wish we had done it years ago. The ileostomy was definitely the right choice for her and we are so grateful to have it done before the spine surgery.
We were able to have family photos done by a sweet, talented friend before Aimee’s May procedure. I don’t have more to share yet, but she did send us this one dear photo of Aimee and Louisa.
We are savoring as much family time right now as we can. It is unbelievable that we have to leave our home and young kids again in just a few days. For now, we focus on time together, relationship memories, games, books, and snuggles.
