Life with your child in the hospital

The calm before the storm

It’s Memorial Day weekend and the majority of staff don’t need to be here. For us, it’s waiting till Tuesday, and so far Galina is fine. The two great arteries and ducts will remain open for a few more days and the oxygenation of the blood would be fine. But we know it’s inevitable. So we’re educated to learn Galina’s plight. So many tests, so much intervention and so important. It’s to the point of annoyance and her crying makes me so sad for her. She just can’t get a break. I just want her to have a little peace and quiet, but this is pre op. How I would like to build a little fort for us both to hang out and take a nap. My little angel is going to be Ok right? I’m nervous. I can’t believe this is happening. It’s getting closer.
