Need all the crossed fingers/prayers we can get!

Post by NikiH »

Jackson is scheduled for surgery on Monday. This was a very fast moving thing so we've not had much time to prepare him or ourselves. The surgery is on his eyes to repair his tear ducts. He will have to be put under general anesthia. This is my biggest concern, with his asthma. We have a physical for him in the morning and then Friday the Pre-Op with the hospital. I'll keep everyone posted.

Please keep your fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly. I don't really believe in prayer but I do believe in fate and karma so I'll be praying that our fate in this situation is to get through all of it. But if you believe in prayer, saying one for Jackson couldn't hurt.

Thanks guys.

I'll be praying for the little guy.

He's gonna pull through. He's a tough kid.

Good luck, Jackson.

Fingers crossed ? Definitely.

Jackson's surgery will be Monday at approximately 8 am. Only one parent is allowed back with him and he's picked his father. So at some point, I'll write down a cell phone number or the number of someone here so they can update you guys. Anyone gonna be around Monday morning and I'll call and let you know so you can post the update. Just PM me and let me know.

I've spoken directly to the anesthialogist and they've been advised of his asthma so that extra precautions can be taken. He is fighting some sort of cold now and is on a heavy decongestant to break it up prior to Monday.

Thank you guys so much for your thoughts and your prayers with any luck we'll be through this easy and done.
