Hi Julia,
Jusy read your profile. Congratulations on your success so far and keep up the good work! I wanted to tell you that I have a 14 year old son who reacted a bit like your daughter. He said "Mom, if you die, I'll kill you." When he realized what he said he was like, "did you hear what I just said" We laughed because if I die he won't be able to kill me. He also said "that's all you ever talk about." So I stoppped telling him so much about it. I had to give him an update this week because my surgeon cancelled my appointment (haven't even seen him yet). They won't have appointments til January. I am trying to not be disppointed, but I wonder. . .
He joking said the if you die I'll kill thing and we laughed. He seemed a lot less worried about it now. Maybe he's done a little research on his own about it. Kids worry about us parents and that is a good thing.
You are doing wonderfully and it sounds like your family is great. Best of luck to you.
Cathy
