Tomorrow, Ellicia has to go into the hospital. Supposedly, minor surgery, but... she'll have to be put under and stay a night or two.
The Army doesn't think it's serious (it's not "life-threatening"). The docs at the clinic won't even write a Red Cross message, much less sign or send one.
So.
Luckily, we know some kind souls willing to watch over three young-uns, including one who is about to go through unexpected and complete weaning.
Feel horrible for being unable to be there.
Can't help.
Can't hold hand.
Can't be there for when she comes out.
Sigh.
No way to contact her... have to wait until she contacts me.
(I guess the shoe's on the other foot, in a sense.)
This sucks.
(As they say in the shop, it's a big pile of suck.)
Hoping for the best... nervous, worried... guilty.

I know Ellicia will feel just as bad as you do but will fully understand and know that you would be there every minute with her if possible. Life was not meant to be easy so they tell us.
All our best for a speedy recovery for Ellicia. Keep you chin up Reid.

Nervous and worried, yes; but guilty, no. This is entirely beyond your control. You could as easily be trapped in an airport with days to wait until ice melts or something like that. Our prayers are with her.
Thank you, Reid. Its just this kind of sacrifice that makes me grateful for your service.
Reid, again I have to ditto all of the above. Will send up extra prayers for you all.
