From my previous post, you all know that Zac is scheduled for surgery in June. We just got it moved from June 15th to June 1st! Yikes, that's a week from Monday... I don't have as much time to prepare myself... There are so many things I've been thinking about like the risks of anesthesia, the recovery, the hospital stay, the risk of bleeding and infection, for my perfect boy's skin to now have scars... It makes me sad. All will be well, keep the good prayers and good thoughts coming his way!
On a side note - When Andy went in for abdominal surgery a year and a half ago, I dropped him off at the hospital in the morning and called the nurses later in the afternoon to see if he made it through surgery! I went and visited him that night and then came back and picked him up the next day. I feel a little bad looking back on it now... I ended up coming down with the stomach flu and threw up on the way to the hospital to pick him up however. Sorry I wasn't a better wife honey!

I'm glad it got moved up. Even though it's scary, it will be so much better for all of you when it's over!
Trevor had surgery when he was 1. He did great. Kids heal so fast, and I can't even see the scar. I'm sure he'll do great, and I'm so glad he'll get to have it sooner.
I remember that with Andy...By - have a good time having surgery - I will see you tomorrow, if you are lucky enough to survive!" LOL!
Glad he will get fixed soon!
Everything will be fine! Great Doctor, Father's Blessing, Family & Friends :) Call if ya need anything!
We will continue to keep him in our prayers, kids do recover so much faster than Daddy's... The thing that counts is how you have supported Andy everyday since then...You have been a part of his success.
Wow! I'm sure it's scary and a relief all at the same time. My family had 10 surgeries all in the same year a few years ago... not fun! I am sure glad that they (you) figured out the problem though and that they can fix it! Do you need help with your kids? Let me know! (I want to make sure you STAY with him at the hospital and don't just drop him off... :)
I'm glad Zac's surgery will be sooner because he'll be feeling so much better once it's over. I know it's hard/scary to make those decisions (Ava had surgery on both of her eyes -detaching and reattaching muscles- when she was one). But, way to go taking care of business and being a great mom by doing what's best for your son. :-)
I am so glad it was moved up. We will be sending prayers your way! Zac has been such a trooper this last year, I'm sure he will continue that through his recovery.
It'll be so nice to just get it over with. Everything is going to go so well and then Zac will be much happier. Let us know how it goes.
You will be so surprised at how quickly Zac recovers and how long it will take you to recover from the stress. When Maddy was 9 months old she had her first surgery -- she fell and cut the inside of her mouth. As the nurses carried her to the operating room and the doctor wheeled the bed, I was sure I would never see my baby again. 45 minutes later, they bring me back to the recovery room where she was doing fine! I cried for a good 30 minutes. Asked Maddy about her second surgery at six and jumping off the counter less than a week later! I will keep Zac and you in my thoughts a prayers! Love to you all, Michelle
holy cow! does he have to do anything to prepare like not eat? do they just open him up or do they do it through like a tube? do i sound really dumb right now? my only medical knowledge is from greys anatomy and my brief semester stint in anatomy...
Wow Molly. You are amazing. You've always had some serious mother's intuition going on. We'll pray for him, and will help with your other kids if you need it. Love you guys!
He's going to do great. I'm sure there's a reason for it being sooner! I'll be thinking about you guys!
I know you've got it all under control, but I'm totally here as a back up if you need it!
