Mason's surgery is 1 very short week away from tomorrow. Please continue to pray for Mason, his surgeons, and our family. We appreciate every single prayer! We also appreciate the sweet cards we have been getting - thank you all!
If you know me, you know that I am not one to let people do things for me - I am very hardheaded and always have had the "I'll do it myself" mentality. It is hard for me to let people take care of me, but I know I need to give that up in this situation. A lot of people have so generously offered to help us during these tough times - THANK YOU! We have been told by so many people to let them know if there is anything we need or need help with. Since we have never been through anything like this before in our lives, I am not sure of our needs. I have no idea what we need now, while in the hospital, and when we get home... We have been told that we will need more help after surgery than we did with newborns. So, I think it is time to take you up on your very generous offers.
A couple of fellow cranio moms sent me a list of ways people can help us, and I figured I would post it here:
- LOTS AND LOTS OF PRAYERS!
- Meals brought to the hospital (we will likely be in the hospital for 5 or more days)
- Care packages/baskets for Mason and us for the hospital with things we need and things to pass time
- People to come sit with us at the hospital for support and so that we can break away if needed to shower, eat, etc.
- Meals for a couple of weeks once we return home (a meal calendar has been started, so let me know if you would like the link, or feel free to call, text, or stop by)
- People to come play with Easton and maybe take him to the park, Catch Air, etc.
We have gotten requests for an address to send mail for Mason (so very thoughtful and sweet!). Please send Mason's mail to:
GreenMellen Media
In Care Of Mason Robertson
123 Church Street NE
Suite 230
Marietta, GA 30060
Thank you all so much for your love, support, and prayers. We literally couldn't go through this without you all!
We created this blog to keep everyone posted on Mason's upcoming major skull surgery on December 10, 2013. Mason was diagnosed with a rare birth defect called Craniosynostosis at his 1 month well visit. We also hope to bring awareness to this condition in hopes of helping out other babies and children with Craniosynostosis. Please continue to keep our sweet baby boy in your prayers!
