Arrival time

Today brings us one day closer to Cristian’s surgery. Tomorrow, we’ll arrive at the hospital at 5:45 AM, and the thought of it fills us with so many emotions—hope, anticipation, and, if I’m honest, nervousness.

It’s hard not to feel the weight of what lies ahead. As a parent, the desire to protect your child from every challenge or discomfort feels so strong. The unknowns of surgery—the what-ifs—play in my mind, but beneath it all, I remind myself of the incredible team who will be caring for Cristian and the strength he has already shown.

I know that this nervousness comes from love. It’s because I want so deeply for Cristian to come out of this stronger and healthier, to see his smile, to hear his laugh, and to watch him embrace life with the full and happy heart he deserves.

As we prepare for tomorrow, we continue to lean on our faith and on the support of those around us. Your prayers and positive thoughts mean the world to us, especially in moments like this. They remind us that we’re not walking this journey alone.
