Mom is scheduled for surgery tomorrow in Dallas to fuse 6 discs together. I pray the surgery is successful. I pray that my sister who is with her can hold it together for her. She is very emotional like I am and really needs us. I feel horrible that she is alone don there dealing with this. No decisions are being made without consulting the rest of us first AND we will each be listed as Mom's health care proxy so when any one of the four of us are there, we can make decisions in the event that Mom can't advocate for herself.
I am also scheduled for my first dress fitting tomorrow. My other sister (I have 2) and 2 of my BM's will be joining me for support and opinions.
Next week I am supposed to have my final meeting with the florist to design the CP's as well as go to the Temple and design the entire look of the wedding - something I was really looking forward to doing with Mom. Luckily, Mom and I have had similar ideas all along. I just hope she has faith in me to do the right thing.
Thanks again for all of your support.

Re: Big day tomorrow
Leslie, I think we all have faith in you to do the right thing, and we barely know you. I am sure your mom has no doubts about your abilities, and further, how the respect you show to both of your parents will have guide you in all of your choices.
My prayers are with your mom. she will be in a lot of pain and discomfort at first. she will probably get a brace of support- MAKE CERTAIN she wears is and goes to her therapy when the time comes. Like I said, I have a lot of experience with the spine and spinal disorders. I am at your disposal if need be.
Please take the time to savor what is happening to your. you are still getting married to a wonderful man, and you have the blessing of BOTH your parents. tomorrow you will be one more step closer to fulfilling your dream and being a beautiful bride to a wonderful man. Please take just a moment, stop thinking about all of the things that have happened recently, and focus for a minute on the feel of your dress...the way the light hits it...they way you will feel when the temple doors open and everyone sees you for the first time. Please OWN a few moments for yourself...and then do what you do so well, as you put so much energy into your loved ones.
you are a special lady Leslie. Good luck and God speed. may your mother's surgery go as smoothly as possible, and a speedy recovery for her.

Re: Big day tomorrow
My mother is scheduled to have a mass taken out of her stomach in Feb... the dr's say she has a 50/50 chance of survival . ( she has lupus and blood clotting disease- takes blood thinners so they are afraid she will bleed out).
I can understand how you feel right now... stressed and worried and sort of alone now that you need her for these important decisions.... know that she is with you in spirit as you decide...... and be kind to yourself during this time.... it is tough to deal with all that and be planning such an event as a wedding.. .my thoughts will be with you and your family.
