A Blanket of Hope

For several months, Avery has been putting in prayer requests at church for various things and a lady by the name of Bonita has been praying for him. One Sunday she got 3 prayer requests from the Sheldon's and decided right then and there to start working on a tshirt blanket for me to let me know the church is praying for me everytime I use the blanket. I got to meet Bonita last week and was completely blindsided by her gracious gesture of love.

 

People from all over are wearing their team Sheldon shirts with pride. On the last day of school, Erik drove by the high school and saw two random students outside wearing their shirts. My OB/Gyn office and Dr Boyd sent me a picture of them all wearing their shirts. I can't wait to see everyone wearing them Friday, my surgery day.

 

 

We had a great time on our preop vacation with The Miller's in San Antonio. It was so relaxing and a much needed break from reality

I got my preop testing done last week and my packet of info to read before my surgery from my plastic surgeon. He said I can't use my arms for 2 weeks and I would have drains in for that long. He plans on making a vertical incision and closing with surgical glue. I have to go in two hours before surgery to be injected with some kind of dye that will light up my sentinel nodes making it easier to see when they take them out. Right now my surgery is scheduled for 1pm. I will stay overnight for two nights. I can shower 48 hrs after surgery, even with drains in. I should get home on Father's Day.
