Hi girls I don't know where else to turn. The unknown of what is wrong with my son is bringing on horrible anxiety. I'm going to the worst place and my PTSD stuff is really showing right now. I keep saying it had to be the umbilical cord wrapped around his abdomen for so long that damaged his rib. Of course I came across this horrid disease (metabolic disease that my husband and the donor would have to be a carrier of for my son to even get it). I'm so scared for him! At least with Allison and her hernia we knew right away what it was! This waiting sucks and is bringing me back to my "cancer days" when I went misdiagnosed for over 6 months and was basically a "sitting duck". I cannot handle my son having to deal with any type of bs. I'm just venting. I probably sound crazy! I have slept with my son in my arms for the past two nights, my heart hurts for him >: The appointment is supposed to be Wed but we need to reschedule with an ortho doctor instead of a plastic surgeon our pedi stupidly recommended!

Step away from Google.
Breathe.
Oh honey, I feel your pain and anxiety on the same level. When we weren't sure what was going on with Mia and google told me all the baaaaad things, I cried and cried and cried and could not bare to let her go. I would tell you all the things people normally say to people in this situation but you have been down the same dark and lonely road as me so I wont. Google is not your friend and time is a motherflucker but you know that it is THE only thing you have to wait for. Do something with your brain and try your best not freak the hell out. You know as well as I do that worry brings you nothing.
I will be thinking of you both with love.
I am so sorry. Try to relax, stop goggling and just breathe. No matter what, everything will be ok.
Hugs. You can be strong for your babies until you get answers. Hold your son as much as you need to get by. Don't be afraid to talk to friends or family and let them know feel overwhelmed by the what ifs.
I believe this is what a natural reaction would be like. So, first off, you are human. Whew.
It is a very scary place to be and I hope everything will end up being OK.
Step away from Dr. Google. He is a horrible, horrible person.
Keep doing what you are doing. Hugging, loving, snuggling your little dude.
And hugs to you.
