As A Mom, I'm A Superhero... But As A Mom, I'm Scared.

My 3 year old son looks at me like a superhero. I don't get hurt, mommy can do all things. She can fix broken toys, make funny face meals, give a million piggy back rides and run on very little sleep...

But my 4 month old doesn't know all that yet, he just knows that I'm mommy and I provide everything he needs...

But I'm scared because today that 4 month old goes to the hospital for an ultrasound and blood work to scan for tumors because he has a congenital disorder that makes it so that the growth in his cells doesn't stop. His right leg, arm and ear are longer/bigger than the left side... I could deal with that... if it was just that. But because the disorder causes an increased risk for tumors because the cells don't stop. He has to be scanned every 3-6 months for tumors and I have to do at home exams... I just...

I'm scared.
