5-year old’s tonsillectomy part 1

As Lucas’s surgery draws closer I’m beginning to get very nervous.

I know I have no reason to but the mommy in me just worries.

He’s actually quite excited about it which is another thing that’s bothering me.

He so sweet and innocent and he is no idea what surgery really is. I know everything will go well but like most things the fear of the unknown leaves us all an easy.

I think I’m worried about the recovery more than I am the surgery itself.

That and my baby being asleep for 45 minutes while the doctors remove parts that have brought him so much trouble.

I fear he will be afraid in the moments between pre-op and the operating room.

I worry that he will be afraid in recovery before we go back there. I’m sure the doctors and nurses are very well equipped to ease his fears but I don’t want him to worry even for a minute.

I’m very afraid of the pain he’s going to feel As his tiny little body recovers.

I’m worried that I won’t build a take away all the pain in the uneasiness that he feels as he begins to heal.

I feel silly worrying about something as simple as this when there are many parents out there worrying about whether their child will make it through the next round of chemo.

This is my seemingly little battle but it’s a big one for me.

I know the doctor will answer any questions I have & Do his best to ease any fears I have just beforehand but the waiting part always sucks, doesn’t it?

I’m grateful that his doctor is considerate and cautious enough to keep him overnight.

I think maybe that part worries me a little too. From what I’ve heard most people, Even children that have this surgery usually go home.

Just need to remind myself to take a deep breath and everything will be okay.

My baby will stop snoring.
my baby will start breathing better.
my baby will start living a healthier & happier life.
And my baby’s nose will stop bleeding, I’ll never again have to hear, ” mommy I wish my nose didn’t bleed”.
