Hi, everyone
My son went for all of his preop appts. yesterday and everything is starting to hit me like a brick wall. My son's surgery is in less than two weeks now and after talking with all of his doc's yesterday I feel very scared for my son. I was so depressed last night and not doing much better this morning. The surgeon went over again everything that could potentially go wrong and you ask yourself why are we doing this?? I know for my son there isn't much of a choice but it still bothers me I don't want him to be worse off after the surgery or possibly die because that would be hard for me to accept. It is the unknown that bothers me the most. Not really knowing what is going to happen. I know a lot of his classmates have gotten through it and are doing fine now so I keep telling myself he will be the same. But really every kid is different and you just don't know what the complications will be. If there are any parents that could tell me how they got through this time right before the surgery would be helpful. I just need to get my mind in the right place about all of this.
