Bryant, however, had a totally different response. He goes outside to wait for the bus and just sits down in the snow and starts playing with it. Then he gets up and starts to throw snowballs with some coaching from his friend.
This week also marks the beginning of Skylar's prep for his surgery this summer. He goes in to the hospital on Wednesday to have a heart cath done. The results get presented at a conference with cardiologists and surgeons who will discuss what will need to be done for his heart and come up with some dates for the procedure. This surgery is supposed to be technically easier and less dangerous than the previous two, so you would think I wouldn't be very emotional about it. This time, though, I know who Skylar is, and I know his little personality. It is a little difficult to explain. For the past three years, I haven't really had to think about it, but now it's right on top of us and I can't ignore it anymore. So here goes! Skylar is so strong, and everything will probably be fine, but I've watched too many episodes of House to just sit back and relax. My Plan: get through the heart cath on Wednesday, get the date for the surgery, put it in my phone, forget about it until my reminder goes off the day before. Wish me luck!
