The Pinnacle of Stress

Today may have just been the most stressful day of my entire life. I was at the hospital from 8:30am-3:30pm for my child's surgery, and found out shortly before leaving that it was confirmed that she has cancer. I had to then hold it together, come home and get dressed and ready to compete in tonight's mandatory Moot Court competition.

I could not wait to get out of there and get back to the hospital to see her. She was just about asleep by the time I got there, but at least I could see and kiss her. To preserve some sense of privacy for her, I don't want to get into her exact condition or treatment. I just request prayers for her and her recovery.

As if that wasn't enough emotions for one day, I just got a call from the school saying I had made it into the semi-final round of Moot Court. While after today I wasn't sure I even wanted to get that call, I was thrilled when it came.....mostly because I will be arguing on issue and on brief, and I love my arguments, so I do not have to do any additional research before my 7:30pm argument time.

So, it looks like I will be able to spend most of the day at the hospital tomorrow with my daughter, which makes me very happy. I will just worry about my Tuesday Prof. Responsibility final later. Now, I just need to somehow try to fall asleep and get some rest!
