She needs tubes in her ears. They are filled with fluid which is significantly impacting her hearing. I know that this is the most common surgery for kids. It’s over in 5 minutes. Recovery is half a day. It’s no big deal. I know that.
The nurse practitioner said they’d give her a sedative first so that she’s calm and relaxed and doesn’t have a problem separating from me for the surgery. I’m wondering if they can give me a dose of that stuff too.
I can’t stop imagining them taking her from my arms and putting her under general anesthesia. I keep imagining her just laying there asleep.
She’s going to do just fine. I’m going to do just fine. She’s His child, and He’s had His arms wrapped around her from the first moment she was born, protecting her and caring for her when she had no mother’s arms to do so. I know that He is with her, and He is with me.
We have to get clearance from the cardiologist before we can schedule the surgery. I’m hoping it’s sooner than later so we can just do this and get her hearing where she should be.
