goddaughter - heart surgery - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

clavus · 07-14-2003, 11:46 AM

This morning my four-year old god-daughter went into surgery. It's not the kind where they cuty a tiny hole for the robot-laser to snake through unobtrusively. Its the crack-your-chest-open, cut-to-the-center-of-your-heart-kind.

She should have been done by now, but I've heard no news; good or bad. I'm kind of freaking out.

Think a happy thought for me. Picture a beautiful, willowy little blonde girl. Picture her happy and healthy.

Hope everything works out for ya dude. I know it can be tough, just stay strong and pull through it.

Got my big old ugly ogreish fingers crossed for ya.

I wish her well, and the quickest of recoveries.

All my thoughts are for good news and a quick and speedy recovery.
Have faith and all shall be well.

*thinking happy thoughts*

krwlz · 07-14-2003, 05:04 PM

Good luck to all involved clavus....it will all work out fine

lurkette · 07-14-2003, 05:07 PM

Any news yet?

clavus · 07-14-2003, 05:27 PM

Thanks for your happy thoughts.

She came out of surgery about 5 hours later than she was supposed to. I don't know the details.

But apparently everything went well, and she is doing fine...considering she had her heart stopped, cut open, then stitched back together.

Its so hard to be my a cynical smartass self when I'm obsessing about my little god-daughter opened up like a frog Bio lab.

Thanks all.

*whew*

I hope all continues to go well - you and your goddaughter have my best wishes.

Double D · 07-14-2003, 07:34 PM

I hope this is the last surgery your little angel has to endure, and that her recovery is a speedy one.

Kids are remarkably flexible about things that would make basket cases out of us adults.
My strongest good thoughts and best wishes go out to your goddaughter.

oldman2003 · 07-14-2003, 08:45 PM

I hope and pray for the best. It is so hard to see the little ones hurtting. Redravin40 is correct that "Kids are remarkably flexible about things " I hope this is the case. Let us know tommorrow what her progress is please.

lafemmefatale · 07-14-2003, 08:59 PM

best of luck to her recovery...

clavus · 07-15-2003, 09:03 AM

Progress report -

Everything is going well. She'll stay in the hospital for a week or so.

Thanks for your kind thoughts and words.
