Okay, I just put it out there. I said it out loud too. Because if it's going to happen, we have to talk and plan. And if it's going to happen, well, it's going to happen. Farewell, that is.
This post may appear to come quickly on the heels of the last but that had more to do with blackberry and less to do with us. The "day of monitoring" I wrote about is almost over as evening approaches. Teo has done well all day - a little fussy but, perhaps, over-tired more than anything else. We have been advised to watch for signs of irritability or signals that Teo is not quite himself as it can be a sign of infection. So, with those kinds of admonitions, we are certainly not meaning to rush things. However, as before, we are in-between: in-between wanting to leave and wanting to stay in order to ensure the best for Teo. And as the signs begin to point more accurately toward the door, we begin to get excited for the next phase!
Tomorrow morning, we are expecting the usual rounds. We anticipate that Teo will have his tubes removed. He will also need another echocardiogram. If all is well (hope and pray with us that ALL IS WELL), they will remove the rest of the monitoring. And we will be released! Different only by a few scars, gray hairs, much gratitude and new hearts. See? I can't help but go there. We are abounding with joy, with such great FEELING at potential release! I cannot put this into more words (or I will bore you trying) - such potential relief.
Ah, but that is tomorrow. And if today's dream of freedom comes true, I have tomorrow's dream lined up and ready!
For now, we settle on a soon farewell...
