Post-Op

[valkryor]

We just got back from Sick Kids. Even though Shannon was first case and went into the OR at 815, it didn't go well. Technically, the operation went fine. But the pressure in her lungs was too high and it took a long long time to get it where the surgical team wanted it. Since there was nothing we could do, we came back to where we were staying because sleeping on the hospital couches isn't what we needed right now.

I almost lost my baby today.

The same quote played over and over in my head and it made me angry because they felt hollow and cheap, even though they comforted me once upon a time.

"You get what everyone gets. You get a lifetime."

i've never been so relieved in my life to see the word "almost"
