I shouldn't be upset.

This is hard for me to talk about right now. I know it's a good thing for Allison but it is still hard for me to talk about. Allison has been approved to make a wish with the Make-A-Wish foundation. The reason this is hard for me is because I am torn emotionally and I wonder if she is old enough. I wonder sometimes if she will get sicker and we won't get a chance to go on a wish trip. Some days, I just forget all about HLHS. I am happy for her, but sad that she is considered "sick enough" to qualify. Maybe it is time to make the wish. At the same time, we need to be thankful and happy for each and every day. I'm so torn right now it hurts.

May. 16, 2009 at 7:09 AM I know what you mean by forgetting about your childs condition. I forget about Jacksons conditions all the time; until we have to see the cardiologist, get an x-ray, echo, or deal with insurance and billing issues. Here's the thing though: and you already know this... Anything can happen to any of us at any moment. Try to let go of your fears. This is a rare opportunity at a chance of a lifetime; she definately deserves a wish granted. When you feel that everyone is ready make the wish.

I'm sorry. I'll be saying a prayer for Allison. Let her wish be granted...no matter what happens later...it will be a time that you all (as a family) can relax and enjoy spending time together.
