Breathe for Olivia

I’ve come to realise that expectation feeds frustration…..its an unhealthy attachment to an outcome I wish I could control….but can’t. I feel like I’m waiting for something that isn’t going to happen & the uncertainty of it is probably one of the most stressful feelings. I’m going to assume you can read through that trifle you just read and understand that once again Olivia’s surgery has been deferred. We’re on “standby”…..I would argue we’ve been on standby for the last 4 weeks. Note to self: stop expecting

It makes no difference to the kids at this point, but for me the lack of sleep the night before I’m expecting a phone call to confirm it all can lead to some anxious moments.

I focus on why I started this journey for Olivia’s wellbeing and count my blessings.

As someone said to me today…..”time to let that Mama Bear out again”…..true that

If I can pass on any advice, it would be stick to your guns, fight for what you believe in & trust your instincts.
