So today is Logan's surgery on his leg, removing the expander and wrapping the lower part of his leg with the expanded skin. Has a cold and his cough just moved into his chest and the anesthesia doctor wanted to cancel surgery and Dr.B said no we must go on, so the anesthesiologist had to go over the extra risks..... Let me tell you how FRICKEN SCARY that was!! I'm soooo scared and I'm blogging to keep a level head. I was ready for today, to have his surgery then when i thought this wasn't going to happen i got scared, i have every thing worked out at home i have the other 2 kids with a sitter for the week. And the chores for the animals are covered and i couldn't imagine having to go home, but then again i couldn't bare the thought of something happening to my baby today!!
I dred every time the moment that i have to say good bye and trust that God has his hand instead of me, Its hard as a mother to be able to do that, Know that you are in another room asking that others watch him and bring him back to me safe!
I really like Dr. Bauer, he comes off as man of very importance, I get the feeling he isn't told NO very often, The nurse first said to us that if anesthesia said no go on the surgery than that was what it would be.. well not today, Dr. B said we have to weigh the options and he wanted the surgery done. Its unsafe to leave the expander in especially since hes getting sick. so Surgery happened, well is happening.
Hope i didn't sound to sad.... its been a rough rough morning, I will update later when we are safe and in his room and he is asleep
Thinking and praying for your little man, the Lord will hold him in His hands. Blessing, Tracy
ReplyDeleteOh stephanie... I am so sorry! I am praying like crazy for you all. :-(
ReplyDeleteGod in his infinite wisdom is guiding Dr. B & taking care of Logan.
ReplyDeleteContinuing prayers are with you all!!
Among Meg's surgeries, we had two (or was it three?) cancelled, due to nurses' or anethesiologist strikes - that was a big bummer to go back home with nothing after getting geared up and arranged for it, and a couple of threats of cancelling because of an oncoming cold or sniffles. However, even those times which all went ahead, she was absolutely fine. Only once did she have the outright cold the next day after surgery, but in comparison she was no more miserable than usual after surgery, and by day 2 everything's all right again (kids are lots stronger than their parents!). Logan is through the worst now, and you, too - he won't remember it, but you will, and you can be a comfort to other parents in a decade or so. :-) Best wishes.
