There are a lot of things that go into having surgery, especially for a baby. Paper work galore, Phone appointments, pre appointments, packing for over night stay and making sure baby gets fed as much as possible before the midnight deadline of "NO FOOD OR DRINK allowed till after surgery. Then there are the things that you don't think of till last minute like.... a babysitter for the other kids so you can spend the whole time with baby, Rides to get the other kids to school and picked up from school, and laundry needs to be washed, dried, folded, and put away so they can get dressed because not only will baby be gone but mamma will be gone as well.
When all is said and done, I am one tired, overwhelemed, and overemotional mamma. I am scared out of my wits that something awful will happen. In my heart, I know it is the right thing to do and the right time but I still feel scared and helpless. She needs this surgery so that one day she will be able to walk like everyone else. If all goes well, she will have her next surgery shortly after.
I know many prayers are with us and many wonderful toughts of love are coming our way and I think that is what is keeping me together. My husband is also a bit of a reck. He tries his best not to think of it or he starts crying as well.
Good luck my little Roo... You are a fighter!!!
