Holding Pattern
Just a quick update, because I need to clean up a little around here
We’re home until Sunday now. Another baby who is sicker than Zen Baby bumped our surgery slot, and I don’t begrudge it for a second. Things are looking really good for Zen Baby. If it’s what they now think it is, surgery should pretty much be the end of the drama.
Which is not to say that the surgery is no small thing. It’ll be major abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia. They’ll put a tube down her throat to breathe for her, the incision will be “stem to stern” and the procedure will take about 3 hours. So, still scary days ahead.
But I’m feeling less like it’s the force of my will that’s keeping her alive, so that’s a good thing. We’re in a good place, emotionally. It’s also a fragile place, but I can deal with that. And it’s great to be home! (well, aside from the laundry. And the dishes. And the all around mess!)
