Surgery

As I handed my baby over to the anesthesiologist this morning I thought to myself, When did I get old enough for this? Asher stared at us with his big blue eyes as they walked through the double doors and Marcus and I watched. Oh my gosh that was hard.

It is so hard to see your baby uncomfortable, in pain, or to have something wrong. I so wish that I could just protect him from everything, or take his place when he has to go through something like this.

I have been a nervous wreck as we've waited for today to get here. Sitting in the hospital waiting room I feel so anxious, sick to my stomach even, just wishing this could all be over.

I've looked around this waiting room at all of the other moms and dads, siblings and grandparents, all waiting for their loved ones. And I am so grateful that Asher is a healthy, happy little boy and that he doesn't have any kind of life threatening or really serious problems.

It is incredible to me how much love Marcus and I have for our little man. So much love. I cannot imagine our lives without him and we are so blessed to have him be a part of our family.


Post Edit:  Update:

Asher was in surgery for just under 3 hours and it was so hard to just sit and wait for him.  He did so well though and handled it like a champ.  He was really struggling as he woke up from the anesthesia, but since then he has been a little fussy and really sleepy but seems to be ok.

Oh, Chelsea, what a precious picture! I am just as anxious here at home, waiting to hear that he is back safe in your arms after a successful surgery. How we love this little guy! The Lord has heard our prayers and all will be well. Hugs to you and Marcus--We love you!

What! Why? What an extremely hard thing to do. I hope the little man recovers quickly.

Wait...did I miss something? What did he have surgery for? Evera will probably be needing surgery on his foot relatively soon. What was Asher's surgery for? Poor little guy. Glad to know he's doing well.

Poor little guy! There is nothing worse then seeing them like that. The good thing is he won't remember this, only you will. I hope everything goes good with his recovery.

How scary! I'm glad he's doing okay and I hope he'll recovery quick. I can't imagine a 3 hour surgery on your little baby, must have been so hard.
