So here we are at this moment sitting in the waiting room as my lil man is in the operatibg room. This day has been one of the hardest and most emotional days of my life...although I do have the reassurance in my heart that I have 2 very important people in heaven that are keeping watch over my lil man...My grandma and our angel baby! I know there are so many people praying and thinking of Braden and Ian and I are and will forever be so grateful. The day started for us with lab work at 600 this morning and a visit from my parents and my cousin. Then at about 650am our "taxi" came to take us down to the pre-op holding area. Braden sat on daddy's lap in the wheelchair and I held his hand walking beside him as we made our way. Once we got to pre-op holding Braden became very emotional...Daddy and I tried to lighten the mood a bit and we said a few knock knock jokes which always makes Braden laugh! Then the child life department came and gave us a fishing game to play to pass a little bit of time. Braden played really well and won each game. then the anesthesia team and nurses that would be taking care of Braden came in to talk to us...They gave Braden Versed(a medicine to help him relax) the first dose was 2 mg and made Braden giggly! It was so cute....but it didnt last for long because he didnt calm down and relax....so they gave him another 2mg of Versed! At this point, it was time to go to the OR. Braden is daddy's boy and in that fashion he wanted daddy to go with him(only one parent was allowed to go) So I held my lil man and gave him hugs and kisses and he went in daddy's arms to the OR...this was at 0733! So Ian was gone about 5 minutes...Braden had gone to sleep and the dr's and anethesia team were preparing for all of his lines to be placed. Ian and I then went to the surgery waiting room to wait.....and wait......and wait......at 0913 we received notification that the surgery had started and the incision was made. I can't stop thinking about my lil man! He is our everything and we cannot wait until this ordeal can be put behind us and we can begin a new chapter in our lives....Thank you again for all the love, support and prayers.
