Ok, so work, and kids and life in general... have kept me from posting. I do read alot though... I think denial and fear kept me away too.
Surgery scheduled for Dec. 13 at noon. Got our packet of info from Rady Children's Hospital. That hit it home. My husband has been so cranky and irritable, come to find out it's over the surgery and his fears for her. I am doing ok with it most times. I have my faith and can only pray on it when I get too stressed. Life must go on right now
She's getting a bit more freaked, and is counting the days. She has some pain from the kick and what they found to be an arthritic condition, something to do with the rapid curve growth. She is ready to have it done with!
We go to San Diego for Preop on Nov. 30th and then return the 12th. My son is 9 and tells me now that he wants to go with us and that he's worried for his sister. Of course, all we can do is reassure him. He's supposed to go to school the 13th, but I think I'm going to have my family keep him home and occupied. He has focus issues, ADHD that we manage without meds, I can see some possible issues that day... so we may see if they can just keep him occupied and busy!!
She's read some of the adolescent posts, and I've faxed the info in to the forum to approve her to log in. I think it could help her fears... there's another girl in our town that is having the surgery at Rady on Dec. 1st, so they are emailing an chatting some!
Any suggestions on how to keep sane during the 6 hours she's in surgery!!?? I think I will be a mess!! Luckily my hubby is going to be able to be there too... keep me sane!
Thanks!
