Things here have been so hectic! I guess that is a good thing since it should help the wait go faster. Being that I am not a patient person, this is a very good thing.
Riley was supposed to have a minor surgery yesterday. The doctor got in there and decided that a specialist needs to be called on. We are now scheduled to see the surgeon next Wednesday afternoon. Riley is very tongue tied. The original procedure was to take a few minutes, tops. The current discussion is about a much more involved operation. YIKES!! Of course, we will do whatever necessary to help him, but just hate the idea of him having to go through all of this. He is such a trooper! As a reward for his excellent behavior with the doctor yesterday he will be getting a haricut. Having his haircut is Riley's all time favorite thing in the world. He LOVES the barber. He LOVES sitting in the big chair watching himself in the mirror. He struts around like he is king of the world. It is just so darn cute!
I will be talking to James today about the severity of his grandmother's illness. I think this is going to be one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do. I am going to talk to him alone since all of this is still so raw for Jerry. James is such a hard book to read at times. He will keep so much inside. This is a BIG thing. I hope he will talk and ask questions and really be open to communicating throughout this very difficult time.
The new house is really coming along. The exterior has been painted. The interior has been textured, base boards and trim hung. We think there is a very good chance the interior will be painted by tomorrow. The driveway, walkway and sidewalks are all framed up. Weather permitting those should have been poured yesterday!! WOW!! It really looks like a house! I can't wait to get in there and start Madeline's room.
All of this craziness and more is keeping my mind busy during this wait. I have been pouring through the recent referral pictures getting my baby fix. They are just so beautiful... and little. I wonder how old Madeline will be when she finally comes home. I can't wait to hold her in my arms and kiss her. Hopefully the first kiss will go better than Riley's. The first time I kissed Riley on Gotcha Day, he wiped it off. What a little pistol! I loved it! He showed his perky personality from minute one. Little did we know just how perky this little fellow would be. I wonder if Madeline will have the same passion.
I picture her beautiful face in my dreams..... it is amazing to think that this dream will become a reality.
