We made it

Well, after a very crazy morning, we finally made it to Fort Worth this evening. What was so crazy about the morning you ask? Well, after hearing that the weather was supposed to be colder than expected, I gave my mom a call to let her know so she could adjust her packing. When she answered I knew she wasn't good. She had come down with a nasty cold in the night. I pretty much freaked out. I didn't know what I was going to do. She was supposed to ride with me and go to the pre-ops ect with us. Then Curtis was meeting us on Friday morning for surgery. I knew that we couldn't risk Cooper getting sick, but I didn't want to admit it. It meant I would have to make the 3 hour drive, 2 night hotel stay, and multiple drs visits by myself. Not my idea of a good time. The worst part for me was going to be staying in a hotel with Cooper by myself, and the morning of surgery with no help. We eventually decided that she shouldn't come. This was the right choice because she has since gotten even sicker. I can't imagine how bad Cooper would feel if he got a cold after getting his tonsils out, and I know I couldn't cope with a virus and a post operative 15 month old. Anyway, after talking to my dear cousin Amy, I calmed down. Of course I got worked up again before leaving, but settled back down on the drive. We got to the hotel, and it really is just perfect. It is an extend-a-stay place, so it has a full size kitchen, which is great since I have to tote around Cooper's food. We went and grabbed dinner for me, and then came back and both ate and had baths and played for a bit. Cooper is now sleeping soundly in his pack-n-play. I am about to dry my hair and go to bed myself. Tomorrow we have an appointment with the pulmonologist bright and early, then we have anesthesiology pre-op. After that, my aunt Sharon is coming over to help out. We will have a fun afternoon and dinner, then she is going to stay the night and help with Cooper before surgery. I am so thankful for that. I will update after appointments tomorrow when I can. This really isn't so bad, it has actually been kind of fun for us. We're just making memories!
