No mother would possibly know what my feelings are right now unless they have a child who is about to go for a major surgery. I am worried, anxious, sometimes I feel pessimistic and at other times I feel optimistic. Once in a while I feel like crying too when I think of what my baby has to go through. This is really a mental anguish to me. I really don’t know if this surgery will fix her problem once and for all or will she need another surgery to correct the problem. Will she suffer from any complications during the surgery? What if she doesn’t wake up from the surgery? Will she suffer from any mental and physical disabilities resulting from the surgery? These are just some of the misgivings that I have on the surgery. I can’t possibly handle all these by myself. I’ll leave everything in God’s hands.
I have started to prepare a check-list on the things that I need to bring to the hospital. My list is really long and I think I will need an extra large trolley luggage and another hand held luggage. Some of the things that I will need to bring to the hospital are my breast pump, some travel towels, a pack of diapers, milk bottles, my neck-support pillow and bolster (I need these, otherwise I am bound to have sleepless nights and a bad stiff neck and shoulders!), my supplements, Baby C’s bowl, cup, spoons and the list goes on. I can’t wait for the day to arrive yet I dread for the day to arrive. How ironic! I hope our stay at the hospital will be over real quickly without us realizing it and that everything will turn out smoothly without any complications and hitches. And I need lots of prayers for a smooth surgery and a minimal pain post-surgery for my baby.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that my prayers are with you. I can fully understand what you are going through right now, my own son had an open heart surgery 6 months back and he is only 3 years old. Don’t worry at all, medical science has made progress like we cannot imagine, and so trust the science & the doctors to do a fabulous job. Just stay strong with your baby watching you and do talk to her about what to expect in a hospital. Believe me this talk will comfort her when she is actually there. I have some suggestions for things to carry, make sure you carry some of Baby C’s favorite toys, photos etc to cheer her up and just so that she has something ‘familiar’ with her at all times in the hospital.
I am doing a new blog about my son’s surgery so that by reading it some mother out there benefits from my experience. http://www.aaditya-my-son.blogspot.com
