Is October 17th really tmorrow? Is my surgery day finally upon me? I can't believe it! Reporting to the hospital at 7:30 am. Getting my bag packed and ready to go!

Just sent my 11 year old son off to stay with close friends for the next two days so HE won't be a nervous wreck. The friend he is styaing with also has a son on the autism spectrum, and she is GREAT with my son. She has lots of fun activities planned for him, and I am so grateful that he will be in good hands. It's an ordeal to pack all his favorite things, his daily regimine of supplements, his special food and more, but he will be much happier having a two day "sleepover" than being home in surgery reality.

The house is all cleaned, laundry done, Protein drinks, Soups, Vitamins and meds ready to go, etc. So... it's full steam ahead!

See ya on the other side,
