Surgery

[sckooshy1]

Glad he is doing well and his surgery was successful! Sad about his older brother. Must have been a scary time for him. But he's healthy and well now!

My little baby boy is only 7 months old right now and has to undergo open heart surgery next month to repair his Tetralogy of Fallot. Good thing he won't remember the pain when he's older, but still not looking forward to the pain he will feel. My poor little baby.

Robin knows what heart surgery feels like. If he could only tell me it's not as painful as I imagine it to be. Wish I could undergo the surgery myself, instead of my son. But it's for the better. That's why they do it!

But I'll tell ya what.. (without making a post that gets reported).. if they don't fix my baby right? Well, I won't be a well person and they will have hell to pay. Sorry, kind of venting. I am aware that this is not a "they're gonna repair your baby" support group. Ha ha! (But one doctor actually used the words "cut, chop, trim" referring to my baby's repair. Seriously?!)

Yeah, it's not right that a doctor uses those words, but maybe they consider it a routine surgery and that they expect no complications. He could've shown a little bit more compassion though.

Well, that said, I hope the surgery will go well and just remember like you said, that's it's an absolute necessity that it happens and things will be better when this is all over.

I hope the surgery goes well too. From what i've seen out of some doctors is that maybe they get so used to doing things that they forget how serious those procedures seem to a person's loved ones. It may be routine to them, but not to the patient or their loved ones. It would be nice if they could stop and remember this before they speak.
