I have Cancer? Part 5: A Bittersweet Christmas

Our baby's first Christmas, 2005- It was supposed to be memorable, and it was, but for all the wrong reasons. We did everything we usually do; Christmas Eve with my husbands family, but despite the festive air of the season, no one could ignore the dark cloud hanging over us. To this day, when I decorate my Christmas tree and I put the "Baby's First Christmas" ornament on the tree, I do so with a bittersweet feeling.

Who Would Care for My Baby Girl?

We had just a month to prepare for the upcoming surgery, and iron out details... just a few small ones, like where were we going to stay in Boston while all this was going on? And who would take care of Lily? I was to be in Boston for at least a month, and bringing her with us was not an option. We could not care for both her and me at the same time. My husband's family offered to watch her and take turns, but that didn't set well with me.
