I was two months in the hospital after a childhood surgery to fix my spine. Then, it was months in bed - as in bed pans since I was truly In Bed. My recovery was more than a year long and my mom was my total life line. She must have struggled like you and yet I was too self-centered to realize it. How I wished she had kept a blog so I could know what it was like for her! <br /><br />Darling photos of those little guys on the bed and in the wheelchair - TOGETHER.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709124741720668440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4127063223404008364.post-69110510850370611832012-04-23T20:29:02.308-06:002012-04-23T20:29:02.308-06:00You missed this because you are a busy Mum with yo...You missed this because you are a busy Mum with your own brood of ducklings! :D <br /><br />I do appreciate you writing this though.

Oh, Rachel, I don't kn...HOW DID I MISS THIS??? Oh, Rachel, I don't know how this post slipped my attention. I'd have been here for you, if I'd clued in. I KNOW this experience, or something like it. Eldest had a procedure done that required general anesthetic. She was fine, but I was a ridiculous mess, but not in her sight. They allowed me to go into the room with her, though, and I had my face right up by hers as they knocked her out. Holding hands. And once she was asleep, a volunteer had to literally guide me back to the waiting area. I would have walked into walls and expensive hospital equipment otherwise. I also brought knitting, which was left untouched. Instead, I snuggled and nursed my infant Little One. But, oh, SUCH a difficult thing for mothers to go through. The wait was impossibly long, quite regardless of the actual relatively short amount of time. <br /><br />Well, thank heavens your ducklings are well. Those before and after photos, though, are heart wrenching.<br /><br />Hugs to you all...W-S Wanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242784517253760863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4127063223404008364.post-29252977022797104312012-04-23T07:51:45.168-06:002012-04-23T07:51:45.168-06:00It was hard.

It doesn't make any sense to me but I guess they have to put those rules in place because of parents who don't know how to handle themselves if when their child comes out from under anesthesia and has complications.... <br /><br />I was able to take a little nap this afternoon. That helped and both boys are doing really well so that is also good. I am told that tomorrow, day three is when things tend to get worse and also day seven.

So sweet of the nurse to go and be a familiar face for the boys though. I'm glad everything went well and they're home safe and sound.
