Layla's surgery was on her back, right where her ribcage meets the lower part of her spine. I'm not sure what to expect, but all I care about is looking into her eyes so she can let me know if she's okay.
Yesterday I was actually releived to be in the hospital and no longer just waiting and wondering what was going to happen. It felt like we're finally taking action. I asked my boyfriend if he felt the same way and he said "I'm glad I'm here and the only reason I'm here is so I can keep getting Layla Bean kisses on my nose every day" and he turned red and started crying and I knew at that moment that everything has happened for a reason. If Layla was going to have this problem no matter what, she had it at a time when I have this great man in my life who loves us both with all of his heart, because I would not have been able to get through anything without him right there beside me. And, as I mentioned, it happened at a time when I have the money to get through it. I feel like I am so blessed, even though we are going through a really rough time right now. I hope that we will continue to be blessed with a full recovery.
