Our sweet daughter will be going through her very first surgery tomorrow, early in the morning. I am taking her to get tubes in her ears. This sucks... a lot. I have been putting it off, trying almost everything to avoid it but nothing has worked. As a mom, its hard to think your little one will be put to sleep in a surgery gown aside her blankies and blankie bear. As a swim teacher, this is the last thing I would want my daughter to go through because part of me aspires for her to have a love for water as her father and I do. I have dwelt with TOO many kids who are over protective of their ears because of the friggin tubes... makes me obviously frustrated.
To remain positive I tell myself many things like... "This is so routine, she will be in and out and she is a strong kid and this will probably be more positive then negative in the outcome", "perhaps her speech will dramatically improve". But most of all, "You have to be strong for her".
I wish Dan will be there with me. That would make this slightly more easy. But my mom will be there so that will help.
That brings me to the good point. Dan will be coming home later in the afternoon! It will be so great to have him home again!!! There is nothing like that "first" hug after spending some time away from each other.
Praying her surgery goes smooth without much pain and praying for peace for you too!
