I keep losing my sweater, and finding Lane either wearing it or in her room. It is oversized, sherpa-like and cozy. I don’t know if she is taking it just because it is so soft and cozy or because it is mine? She misses me and she is worried. She has such a sweet and sensitive heart. I know I expressed this in a previous post but trying to navigate the needs of three very different personalities (one being very young) has been a challenge. I am doing the best I can. I am hopeful that once we have a FINAL surgery date, even though it will no longer be “ski week”, I can carve out time with all the girls and each of them independently to have some fun, quality time together.

Now, time to tackle another day - ensure my pathology slides are en route to Stanford, my surgery is being scheduled, follow-up with genetic results I was promised “mid-week”, follow-up with first team regarding potential surgery date of 2.26 and how to navigate the conflict, clean the house, play with the kids, and hopefully start knocking a few things off my growing “to do” list of things I want adjusted and fixed around the house prior to surgery. Carpe Diem! (Yes Trey and Dad, I am talking to you.)
