An Update

Hey guys-

Sorry it took me so long to update you on Cayden's surgery. We had to be there at 6:30, which meant getting up at 5:30, so I've either spent the day attached to Cayden, or sleeping.

His surgery went very well, but it was a lot harder than I expected, especially when they took him away. He cried, and I knew he was scared so as soon as he couldn't see me anymore, I started crying. Afterward, he was just tired, and he was crying when we went back, but as soon as I picked him up, he fell back asleep. The afternoon has been spent napping and watching movies.

The doctor says he should be up running around by tomorrow, and I hope so. I do love getting in the cuddle time, but I hate seeing him uncomfortable.

As far as relay for life, things are going AMAZING there as well. I signed up on Wednesday I think? Or maybe Thursday... Anyway, in those couple days, I am ALMOST halfway to my goal.

But please, don't think that means we can stop. Just because I set a goal, doesn't mean I can't go past it. And, I'm the ONLY team member to raise any money, so while my personal goal is 200 dollars, my team's goal is 1,000. I'd really LOVE to make it there.

I know a lot of you said you are walking yourself or have donated in your area, and if so, THANK YOU! If you haven't donated, I do have to ask you to PLEASE do so. Trust me, I KNOW money gets tight, so I'm not asking for an 100 dollar donation (but hey, if you have it, we won't turn it away! lol) But if you think about it, 1 dollar from 100 people IS 100 dollars. So really, EVERY mere dollar counts. I know one person mentioned they were out of the country, and the rate exchange was too high. I understand that completely, you don't want to pay more to transfer the money than the actual donation itself, but if there's ANY kind of solution to this, please let me know (I don't know if maybe you could donate to my paypal, and then I could enter the money in your name, or if there's still a transfer fee. I've never been out of the country and never bought anything either, so I have no idea how currency exchange works.)

I was trying to think of something special I could do for my readers that donate as well. If I could give them a "pass" to get an advanced copy of a posting or something? Or maybe even a bonus day or two for everyone if I reach my goal? I don't know, but if you have any suggestions, I would be open to that as well.

And again, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to the people who have donated. It means a lot.
