Today was a very emotional day for us. On one hand, we were packed up and ready to go by 5:00 am after only getting a couple of hours of sleep. We got to the hospital weighed in, got a bed, we were meeting with the anesthesiologist when one of the neurosurgery residents walked in and told us the doctor called in sick today.... :(
I felt like someone punched me in the stomach. I was very upset, as we dressed him and packed up to go home with a crying kid. I couldn't believe it! This poor kid has been through so much, how much more can he take? Why him? Why does he have to go through so much pain?
After I had sometime to think and recover from the blow, I realized, Doctors get sick too. I appreciate him not passing anything unto my kid while he is cut open. Pain management is our top priority. I'm not mad at the Dr. or Loma Linda, I was upset at the situation, our hopes, Billy Boy's pain.
Again, all in God's plan and not a minute sooner.
After lunch the surgery scheduler called me back and rescheduled the surgery for January 19th, two weeks from today. Not the best news, but not the worst either. Till then, I'll pray everyone stays healthy for this next surgery.
