Hi,
Just found your blog in a desperate search...
Our six year old daughter is having her bone graft in Seattle on March 4th, Pre-op on Feb. 9th. This will be her fourth surgery to date. You would think it would get easier. I feel like I'm going to crack pretty much all the time now.. these last few weeks are brutal. Really hard to explain to my other mom friends. They are supportive, but have really no idea why I feel so (what is the right word here..... anguished?) over this up coming surgery. Maybe because they haven't had their kid look them in the eyes, pleading for you to help them, to not let the doctors do xyz to them... to see that kind of fear in their child...
Anyway, it's helped me so much to read your posts of the last few weeks. Thank you so much for writing them.
I has really meant so much to me.
