u know... i'm dumbfounded.. lost for words. heavy heart.
Brendan had his heart surgery when he was 4 mths old. his was a really serious heart condition and his was a major surgery. he had fallots tetralogy, one of the congenital heart conditions. his surgery was 5 hrs... my hub and i were pacing up and down the waiting room... there was a dalai lama there, his nephew has malaria. what mae it worse was, he asked me wat i was doing there... then he said, whatever will be will be. karma... leave it in the hands of GOD. this was not wat i wanted to hear when my son was in surgery. we try to avoid him.
after 5 excruciating hrs, the longest 5 hrs in my life. (prior to surgery, 1 parent could go in to the op theatre and hold ur baby till he is put on anesthetic and sleeps. PANIFUL, very painful to hold Brendan till he slept while he struggled with the mask) after the surgery we were so happy!! asked the doctors if there were any complications during surgery, they replied, nothing major, just tiny hicups.
We thank the doctors and BUT the Anesthetist replied dont thank me yet, it's not over. we don't know yet. there may be complications. (we were told how pessimistic and how cynical she can be so we took her words lightly) little do we as parents know... we thot after surgery all ok!
we took the opportunity to go for massage, shopping as a couple, never had time being a couple since his birth. we thought Brendan was in really good hands, nurse 24/7 by his side and doctors coming in and out all the time.
so when i read bout Sabie, my heart sank. i stopped for a moment and thought... our Anesthetist was not joking at all. that could have been Brendan....*sob* *sob*
i really feel for this little girl. we have the same surgeon, so please GOD, bestow a miracle on Sabie like how you have bestowed one on Brendan please.
Thank you amy (toto), angel (hidora) and karen (missk) for all your support during my son's surgery and other mommies that i've not pointed out. THANK YOU!
