Surgery :(

DS had his surgery today to fix his bladder exstrophy with epispadias. He's in the PICU and will be there for 1-2 weeks. He'll have the cast for a month.

There's more tubes and wires on him than when he was first born. And he's on a vent for 24-72 hours, so I can't hold him yet. He didn't even need that at birth so I don't know what to do with myself. :(

...I'm just freaking out. This hospital thing is harder the second time around. I got so used to having him home, and now we have to do this all over again.

  • I'm so sorry you are having to go through the hospital stay again. Lots of thoughts and prayers that he heals quickly so you can get home

  • Poor little guy!  I hope he has a speedy recovery and you can hold him soon.  Hang tight and try to get some rest too.
