The Kids

Many people have been asking us about the kids.  The kids have been asking great questions, but of course they don't completely understand what's happening tomorrow.  Lynn walked them through the whole procedure tonight.  E wanted him to "keep doing it" because he liked the "staple part".   K is more stoic and doesn't really want to talk much about it.  I know she is feeling the stress because she slept with her prayer bear rag that she has had since birth pushing the button over and over again until ahe fell asleep tonight.
They enjoy the the parking garage, hospital food the elevators and the "hannitizer". E puts that on and pretends to be the Dr..
We have always been very open with our kids and told them what we think they can handle, and this is no different.  They know dad is sick, he is going to be cut open and he will get better.
The goodbyes tonight were hard for me to watch.  Its one thing for me to say goodbye to him...but to watch him say goodbye to them...goodness, that was really hard.
We'll all be breaking out of this joint soon!
