Good News

My youngest son's surgery went well, though it'll be another week until we get the rest of the results back. OO-RAH! It was rough, waiting without word for hours, but the time finally came when it was all over with. But the most difficult part was watching him being put under general anesthesia. He took it like a trooper. Before he succumbed he kept saying "Daddy, Daddy". That was the hardest thing I ever had to endure as a parent. I felt like I was abandoning him when I had to leave the operating room. Fortunately it all went well. The procedure was a success, and he awoke normally, aside from the soreness and moodiness from the anesthesia. The doctors and nurses were all very impressed with his recovery, especially for being only two. Now is the time to relax and regain some much lost sleep! Keep on keepin' on!

    Oh, wow, what a scary feeling to have to watch your child be put under anesthesia. So glad everything went okay and your son is fine.

    Thank you so much. It is very scary indeed. The helpless feeling is so torturous. Thankfully my wife is much better at handling this than I am. I don't know what I'd do without her!

    Oh Julius - I really feel for you all. It's such a traumatic thing to go through. I'm delighted all is well now. It's been many years since I've been in that situation but I remember just how terrifying it was to see my own undergo surgery at that age.

    Best wishes to him for a speedy and full recovery.

    Thank you so much, Rory. It's much appreciated. I hope to never go through such a thing again. I wish that no parent should have to go through that, it's horrible. Alas, it is over with.
