Hopefully during your wait for surgery, you will be able to line up help from some of the Moms in the school or from a church group. Maybe you'll have a chance to get to know your neighbors a little better and they may offer help.

It's good news your surgeon thinks you have time and it is not an emergency situation.
Best Wishes.

Jaimie,

I've got 4 kids They're mostly grown now, but I had some serious medical issues when they were young, so I understand the need to be The Mom, even when YOU need to be taken care of. I have a friend, though, who's a family therapist, and she reminded me of the emergency procedure speech that you always hear on airlines:

"In the case of an emergency, oxygen masks will drop from the ceiling. If you are traveling with someone who needs your assistance, be sure your own oxygen mask is in place first! Then you can help those with you."

The BEST THING you can do for your family is to do whatever it takes to get well. Then, you can go back to being Supermom.
