The time has come. Riley's lip and hypospadius repair is this Monday at 7 am. We have to be at the hospital by 5 am to get all the presurgical stuff out of the way. Riley is having his operation at a hospital called Carden's which is an hour away from our house which means we need to be out the door at 4 am. I work the night before in the er so I won't get home until 10:30. I'm going to be very tired but I don't think I'm going to be able sleep much anyways. I have a lot of mixed emotions. I'm very excited because I want to get it over with and I want him to have his lip fixed. I'm scared and anxious because I don't want anything to happen to him. I know that this operation is safer than driving home from work but there's always that risk. I love my little guy and will think he is beautiful no matter what but I'm so used to seeing him the way he looks now.
I will try and post pictures as soon as soon as I can. I plan on taking a few and posting them so family and friends can see. I will also try to keep everyone updated if I have access to internet. Please keep my little man in your thoughts and prayers.
You mean Monday?? The day after tomorrow Monday?? Wow!
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you Kari. I know how hard this is on a Mama's heart and emotions.
And of course I'll be praying for the team of doctors and nurses and everyone who comes in contact with Riley during his surgery and hospital stay.
