Poppa's Seeds

Back a few months ago Poppa discovered that his TSA was too high and he was having prostrate issues that needed to be addressed. Initally he was given light rounds of radiation to try and shrink the prostrate so a more effect method known as Radioactive Seeds could be implanted. He has done really well with all of this so we really anticapate the same results for this last phase of the process. With all of this wonderful news there is a downside. The seeds are of course radioactive hense their name and they are emmited from the body in traceable amounts making it dangerous for prolonged exposure esp if you are an infant or an expecting Mommy (which I'm not lol) BUT Kal-el certainly falls under the infant category. We have been given pretty specific instructions on the do's and don'ts of exposure and it is much more strict than what we initially believed. Poppa and Kal-el have to stay at least 6 ft from one another for a 2 month duration. Talk about a heartbreaking challenge! It's going to be equally hard on both of them b/c Poppa loves his Kal-el and Kal-el loves his Poppa! Six feet may not sound like alot to some people but when you have a close knit family the way all of us are you understand the frustration that comes with a request as this. On a postive note he will still get to look at him, be in the same room as him and interact in other ways and hopefully this time will pass fairly quickly for both of them. His surgery is Friday so they are spending as much time together as they possibly can these few days before. I 'm so grateful that by the time Kal-el's 1st Birthday celebration arrives in March that there will no longer be any restrictions, making this day even more special. I love you Poppa and I know everything will go well Friday! Kal-el and I will be counting down the days with you :)
