I am so scared and i don't know how i am living day to day. I feel better but also i can understand what you were saying about not knowing where to stand, are you allowed to go somewhere, the confusion. Sometimes i feel like a bad mum because i don't even understand what the specialists are talking about. Then people say you must ask questions. I don't know what questions. I am on anti anxiety medication and i still feel rotton. I was looking for a site to help me cope with the fact that my “baby” 8years is going to have heart surgery on the 11th of Feb.

My three year old had surgery last Friday, it was horrible. Horrible. We were told we'd be home by noon-- we were home by 7pm after a day of shivering, vomitting blood, and just all around chaos. Yeah, our nurses had a nice time talking about their nightlife in front of us too. I spent the entire day crying uncontrollably. Hi, I’m sitting here tears streaming down my face after reading this.

Except he then hemorraged (sp????) for 6 hours and we had to do the whole surgery thing again that night. So glad that everything went smoothly for you and that Lleyton will be ok. Hope you get to rest and catch up with yourself. It is very draining having to go through this kind of thing and knowing that you have to try to be a rock for the kids makes it harder. Sending hugs :) Reading that was like reliving my experience when my son had to have surgery.
