Taking A Deep Breath

Well I just back from the airport........Myles is on his way to Salt Lake City for burn camp. We spent all week with Orthopedic surgeons, hemophilia doctors and surgeons for his up an coming port. Our calendar has been full to the brim and the second I walked away from him at the airport there was this eary screeching halt. Sleepless nights have seem to be the norm for both of us lately, him in utter exitement, and me in "Oh my God, he is going to be in the middle of no where for six days" worry. No hospitals, no hemophilia specialists, no cell phones, No, No, No.... He has been driving me crazy for the last two days. "48 hours till I go, 36 hours till I go, 24 hours"..... I am not sure if he is excited about white water rafting 92 miles in the middle of no where or getting away from me. It has been a lifetime (exageration, a year and a half) since buggies and I have been away from each other (excluding his time at school) for more than a day. Poor kid! Poor me! Trying to figure out all the medical supplies he needs "in the middle of no where" has been tough, factor, syringes, ASEPTIC SUPPLIES, ice packs, extra needles, hope I got it all. His camp counselor met us at the airport, he is from here, and I think I overwhelmed him some with all the motherly instructions. It wouldn't be so bad if Myles wasn't such a daredevil in ALL that he does. Is this a Ganley trait? Doug (his counselor) reassured me that they already have Utah lifeflight informed and waiting.
Myles was very quiet on the way to the airport compared to the last few days of irritating excitement. When we hugged our goodbyes, he just said "Mom, just remember, there is finally something good about being burned". I quickly hugged him (again) turned away and started to cry. How true. I am still crying (half for happiness, half for sorrow).
P.S. Myles just called me to tell me that they have a limousine to pick them up from the airport. My love is never ending to the people that acknowledge the pain and suffering that burn victims go through and want to make it better. Now I am really crying!!!!!!!!!!!!!
