k, i'm kinda freaking out
Maddie is scheduled to get her tonsils taken out next week, and since i've been trying to prepare this week, i'm starting to panic. I was doing fine until yesterday when i finally had all the arrangements set, and then when i started to wonder how it would go, i called a friend because her son just had his taken out last year and asked her a few questions. I was feeling pretty good, and was trying to think of how and when i would talk to maddie, but i wasn't too worried until today. I was preparing maddie for the fact that i was going to stay after school today to talk to her preschool teacher to let her know that maddie wouldn't be to school next week and maddie started to cry and put her hand over her mouth and said "I don't want my tonsils taken out." it was pretty sudden, and i hadn't even mentioned much about her getting her tonsils out, just that she would miss school.... but oh boy, her fear made me loose it. thankfully i did a good cover-up for her and reassured her for just a minute and then quickly changed the subject and she was fine, but i've been sitting home for the last hour while she's at school just worrying my head off! I'm sure it will come and go, but until then i'm trying to think of everything i can to help her prepare.

You are an awesome mom, and these are things that just have to be taken care of. MOM you will be okay, and trust me I feel your heart ache, it's very hard to hand your child over to some stranger, even if it is something to make them better.
If you need call me, I haven't done that before, but I've been down other roads. You and her will be okay, TRUST ME... do call me. I've been there, it does get a little easier to handle after a while. YOU AND HER WILL DO GREAT.

As Dory says on "Finding Nemo": "Relax! Take a deep breath!" I understand how hard it is when your child has to go through something like that. Just remember that everything WILL be okay and she will be better in the end!! :) I think it will be harder for you, the mommy, than it will be for her. At least, that's what I've noticed with Benson. I don't know if that reassures you at all! Good luck with your fears!
thanks for everyone's reassurance! i just wish she wasn't so panicky about it. i think i wouldn't be so nervous if i could calm her down a little, but so far nothing i've done can help her understand that it's going to be okay
Surgeries are never an easy thing to prepare for. Especially a little kid. Mason has anxiety attacks when he thinks of having surgery on his head again. I can so relate to how you feel. All will go well and you can run Ryan over or ask me to go to the store for you anytime. Or whatever you need I am just across the street.
