So, I know I am overdue for a post and I've been letting Uncle Mack pick up the slack. Sorry about that. The truth is that I feel like I have been hit by a semi truck and I'm still in a bit of shock when it comes to the reality of this whole thing. The exit consultation was probably the hardest and most agonizing thing I have had to sit through in my entire life. I didn't even make it out of the clinic before I broke down and needed to force myself to remember why we have to put our precious baby through all of this. So to put it plainly, we are still reeling.
Tomorrow, Gracie goes in early to be sedated for her MRI and lumbar puncture. Then she will be admitted to the Transplant Unit where she (and I) will live for quite some time. I'm not sure that will quite be the cure for my present homesickness, but I will definately be glad to get this show on the road so that we can get closer to our goal of bringing home a healthy Gracie.
Yuck, what a morose post.
I guess we all know why I've been leaving the posting up to Uncle Mack the past few days. :) We'll see what I can do to be a bit more chipper on my next post, ok?

I'm so sorry honey. I wish I could take it all away. :( Gracie's in great shape though. She's gonna sail right through all of this, and we'll all be so grateful when she does.

We love you so much, and are sending all our thoughts and prayers your way. I know you're giving it all you've got, and you guys have got a lot! Gracie's going to be great!
Big hugs Sarah. I cant even imagin what is going through your head right now. But you are right, we all must move forward and keep an eye on the prize. Still keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
