Hi everyone!
I am in better spirits now that my game plan is in place! It could also be that spring has finally hit the midwest! Pending that all of my symptoms stay the same, I am scheduled for my c-section on June 10th. We are so excited to meet our little man!
I will be given a month to heal from c-section and to bond with baby (baby will be delivered 2 weeks early....38 wks) and then surgery. I am scheduled for surgery on July 14th with Drs Friedman/Schwartz at House in LA. I have decided that my tumor will decide to shrink a bit on its own and not grow any larger from now until then :P
The countdown is on until this tumor no longer has its comfy home! I will keep you all posted as the time draws near. Please keep me in your thoughts/prayers for everything to stay stable and keep me on course!
Now back to living!

Kris .....
So glad you have your game plan all in place. That has to be a major relief from the "hanging out there in the unknown land" feeling.
I will certainly keep you in my thoughts and prayers especially during the next several months. Hope you post some pictures of that precious little guy after he arrives.

Kris,
Good for you! Always nice when you have a plan in place.
I love your idea to have your AN shrink. I hope it decides to listen to you! Be assertive! >:(
June 10th will be here before you know it. I'm excited to see pictures of the little guy! (We love babies around here!).
Hope you are feeling well!

Thanks for sharing your good news regarding your 'addition' and, in July, your 'subtraction'. Your positive attitude will benefit you in the weeks and months ahead.

Hi Kris! I am so glad to hear that you have a plan in place!! I had my surgery when my little guy (born on June 26, 2006) was six weeks old. I can't say I ever would have imagined having two surgeries so close together, but for me it worked out fine. I was definitely feeling fine after the C-section, and was by four weeks, really, but my surgeon was out of town so we waited until 6 weeks. I had enough time to bond, and even had some breast milk frozen for him. My son got plenty of love and attention while I away, and am sure your little one will, too.
I just wanted to say I was happy to read that you have a plan, and hope you can spend your time planning for your little one's arrival.....enjoy the time before he arrives!! Sending you healing wishes!

Congrats on getting your surgery scheduled as well as the C-section, it must be a big relief to have everything laid out...it will be a whirlwind month for you, and I will be praying everything goes well.
Take care!

Congratulations, in every way! Enjoy your next couple of months and your baby boy. And while you're recovering from surgery, all you have to do is sleep and snuggle with your son. Sounds like a nice way to recoup. ;D

Kris,
Having a plan in place is half the battle. Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest.....a new baby and two surgeries is huge. Having had both the c-section and the brain surgery all I can say is wow. I know you will have a beautiful baby and send the brain buggar scrambling for a new home in some pathologists lab! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
