Yesterday, I took Savannah to her plastic surgeon's office for a post op check up and to schedule the next surgery. Good news is, she is doing great and ready to have all of the distracting hardware removed. Bad news...I called today to check on the scheduling of her next surgery (soft palate building and removal of distraction hardware) and the surgeon is booked up through the end of the year. He only does these cases one day a week. The regular plastic surgery office gets him 4 days, theoretically. I knew it was going to be tight because of the holidays but I honestly was not prepared to hear that. I had my hopes up that it would be the first week of December. So, now unless there is an opening in his regular surgery schedule, she has to live with this crap another month. It's doable but I just hate it, for me and for her. It means one more month of making my sweet little baby scream bloody murder while changing the dressing on the posts behind her ears. One more month of her being so sensitive that she can't even wear a hat to keep warm. One more month of having to face that look in her eyes that says "why are doing this to me?". One more month of tears at bedtime, hers and mine.
I need some positive vibes, juju, crossed fingers, prayers, whatever it is that you do to wish upon a star that there is an opening asap. I just want to get this over with. so she doesn't have to live in discomfort and pain any longer. My poor baby has been through so much.
Re: In need of some positive JuJu
At least they're trying to help get you in, a lot of offices wouldn't even bother! Hopefully they call you back either today or Monday with an opening!
