This morning... by Allison
The journey begins with his sweet smile still on his face. He was more than ready to get started today. Just amazed at his bravery. Scott and I were able to be with him in pre-op. Then, I was able to enter the OR with him and his team of Dr.'s, nurses etc. With the help of some good "relaxation" meds, Connor was being quite the character and entertaining everyone. Once he was put under, I was escorted to the waiting room to meet Scott. That was a tough mommy moment for me but I got through it.
Just got a call (noon) from anesthesiologist that they are half way through surgery. Connor was doing well. In the mean time, Scott and I attended a class on 'How to care for the Fixator'. That helped to distract us for a bit. So thankful Scott can be with me during this time. Also, thanks for the continued prayers. I will update later after Connor is comfortable.
phew.... such a brave, strong family! keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeletePraying for everyone!!!!!! Way to be strong mommy! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI have tears in my eyes . What an amazing kid. You guys are a wonderful supportive family. Sending you all our thoughts!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update! Praying for you guys!!
ReplyDeleteJust hearing about that was a tough mommy moment for me! I think it's obvious where Connor gets his strength and courage. :)
ReplyDeleteRachel, I agree- so thankful for this blog and being able to check in our "our boy" and his family. Prayers for strength and a quick healing process for Connor. His classmates really miss him and in spite of the wacky, stormy weather we had last Friday, (which "played" with our computers...) Ms Morris, our computer teacher and good friend, helped us to "chat" with Connor. Little notes and pictures sent home to him are written daily. That tells you what kind of a young man he is, and how important he is to his friends. "Flat Connor" keeps smiling in class and stays out of trouble, such a positive guy, just like our real friend. Thinking of you all, daily.
