please tell me that its all in my head.... Jenna will probably need to get her adnoids taken out because of her drooling and breathing. im so scared to have her go under anestetic(sp?) because of the chance of her not coming out of it. Why do i have this feeling? because thats what happened to Jordan. he had an operation because of his disease he had and he never woke up from the anestetic. He went into shock and lapsed into a coma. so please tell me its just in my head...

See if they can do a local or something, maybe that will help your fears.

Shelly, you are worried with reason. But she will be in good hands and she is a healthy little girl. While Logan was in surgery, all I could think of was what if I lost him. I think it is a normal parental fear made more so by your previous experience. Logan made it, so will Jenna. I think it was more scary for me because they had to stop Logan's heart for 5 hours and then restart it. All I can offer is hugs and positive thoughts. I am sure she'll do fine, and so will you. After all, you have Marcus to lean on.

Have you talked to her Dr or surgeon about it? maybe they can use different anesthetic
or take special precautions with her? I think what you are feeling is totally normal given your circumstance, but really, this is a very routine procedure, they probably do dozens a day with no problems at all. |

I totally agree with tara, can you talk to the anathesiologist in advance, and ask for updates thru out the procedure? also please dont let jenna see how worried you are, it would only upset and scare her. I think you should lean on marcus, and just know that your little girl is in good hands. i am sure this is a very common surgery. i will be praying for her and you -------------------- Stacy, wife to Peter, mom to Caleb, Jakob, and Andrew

Shelly,
I dont know what to say. Sorry you feel this way. Jenna is a diffrent child with diffrent circumstances. Everything will be just fine. I wish there was something I could say or do to make you feel better. But I know there isnt. Lexi has been put to sleep 4 times in her life. Its scary every time. I have never been thru what you have though so I do not know the words. |

Everything will be okay, there are risks with everything, but the risk with anesthetic is minimal. She'll be in good hands when the time comes

Relax. I know its hard, all of my children have had several surgeries. One child, completelyu life threatening when she was born. But even though all that she overcame it. I know its tough, I have never lost a child but my sister did. I understand that feeling to some extent. But stay positive, dont think about the negative. A million operations are done everyday and they are done suscefully. There are the rare occasions, but I think anything inolving our little babies is something to be a little worried about. So yes, be a a little neverous, but not too much, becuase I'm sure that in the end, things will turn out fine.

Shelly, your concerns are not groundless. Making the decision to place a child under general anesthetic is never one to be taken lightly. We were so scared when we had to do that to two of ours, Erin many times. At times like that you have to weigh the risk vs. benefit. To me, the risk is very low that there will be a problem, as Jenna is a healthy girl other than her adenoids. The benefit will be that she will be able to breathe easier and sleep better, thereby making her more healthy over-all. I think when you look at it that way you can see that the benefit outweighs the risk.
I would definitely share my concerns with the doctors, though, especially the anesthesiologist. -------------------- Ed is husband to Lisa (since 1983) Dad to Ricky, John, Erin and Kaitlin The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

I absolutely agree with Ed here. And her speech may be helped too in the long run. It isn't a decision to be made lightly, but sometimes it simply has to be done. Try hard not to worry yourself into a tizzy. Having your home full of dayhome kids has to be rough on your blood pressure already. -------------------- |
