Thanks Mom!!!

What I never mentioned during Sienna's big week last week was that Jeff was not here. He had a meeting in LAX that unfortunately could not be missed. As much as we missed him, and he hated not being here for Sienna (and me), we understood. Thanks to text messages and calls I was able to give him the play by play during "Transfusion Tuesday" and her surgery. Sienna wanted Jeff to know when she got poked, and what was going on at all times... So sweet!

I owe a huge thank you to my Mom who flew in from Texas to be with me. She did countless loads of laundry, and anything else to keep the house going why I was busy with the girls. She also witnessed her daughter stressed, tired, and not so patient some nights... I am grateful she seemed to look past it all, and just helped keep me (and my life) together. She was even there to hold my hand when we met with the anesthesia team to put Sienna to sleep. One of the hardest things I have ever done...






So, I guess the moral of this post is that you are never too old to need your Mom! Thanks Mom for being there every step of the way last week. Hopefully, we can have some fun on your next visit!

I was able to get these precious photos with her granddaughters before she left! I love them all!

Blessings,

They are beautiful, beautiful shots, Di!!!! I am so glad your Mom was there to help out. It is SO hard when the anesthesiologist wheels them away...Oh my. Glad someone who loves you was there to hold your hand.

What a wonderful post Diana. I'm sure it means a lot to your mom. I think we all need to say thank you to our moms more often. Hope you are well. I enjoy keeping up with you and your beautiful girls through your blog. Take care.
