Tonight was rough

It's hard telling a young boy he is going to have surgery on his foot. He kept saying it doesn't hurt and it was fine. He got so scared he got sick. This poor sweet boy.

We talked, we loved, we role played with dolls we hugged, we cried and we all held him, and we explained to him why this was needed.

It broke our heart when he said no I'll be good. I'll walk better please. I will daddy, Papa please.

It was a very hard night.

Tt told him he'd wear a cast just like his so they would match.

We got him calmed down and relaxed and he's asleep in Joel's arms right now. Joel is afraid to move because he doesn't want to wake him up and have to start all over.

We have to be there at 10 am tomorrow. I wish it was earlier.

This poor sweet boy of ours. He just doesn't understand why. But we got him and we'll get him though it. I hope it's ok to ask for a few prayers for our big man tomorrow.

This sweet boy of ours

It is always okay to ask for prayer. Always.

I know kids get scared. So do adults. We’ve just been conditioned not to show it. I have a hunch your child will be scared, but he’ll get through it. Courage isn’t not being afraid, it’s going through the trial anyway.

If there’s a special calming ritual you do with your kids, do it with him. And you have recent experiences to share. “My nose hurt so bad…but it’s better now, right? Star got hurt, but she’s better too. We’re not here to get you hurt, although it might hurt some. We’re here to get you better, and we will be here for you, because we love you and love is tougher than anything.

Praying for you each and every one.

BLESS HIS SWEET HEART! 🥺🥺🥺 Your precious brave boy is a total superstar! 💫💫💫 Bless him sooooooo much I hope he will be okay and I hope his foot gets all better soon! 😇😇😇 I adore kids and I HATE it when a child is hurt so please please please give him unconditional love and he is in our thoughts for sure! 💖💖💖

@MommyLucy thank you. He is doing very well today. He is eating his resting he is in good spirits it's almost like yesterday didn't happen. He's in a little bit of pain but the Tylenol in ice are doing the trick so thankfully we haven't had to give him a pain pill he has bad kidneys so we're very worried about the pain pills affecting them again
Things like this are huge when you're a child. It's near impossible to see through the fear.

Be assured of prayers for peace, and calm. Everything will be alright.
Best wishes for your hospital visit today. 🙏

@SethGreene531 thank you for this. It means alot
@Cigarguys My pleasure. You're most welcome! 😊

That just breaks my heart...hearing him promise to be good so he doesn't have to have surgery...and of course, it's probably happening right now as I am typing. Poor little muffin. Poor sweet darling boy. 🥺

I can't imagine what this morning will be like for all of you who love him so very much.

BUT...no more tearing up. No more crying. When it is OVER with and done, your adorable little muffin will have a healthy foot, and his spine and hips will grow properly, and not be painful and crooked for the rest of his life.

@4meAndyou it was heartbreaking and more of the same this morning. But now it's time to focus on healing. And this will just be a painful memory.

@Cigarguys YES!!!!

The poor little guy. He's going to fine in the long run. Prayers and well wishes for him and your family. Is he going to a regular hospital or a children's hospital? I hear that children's hospitals are better equipped to handle a child's fears and concerns when it comes to surgery.
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@Barefooter25 he's going to children's Mercy hospital. They don't plan on keeping him over night
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
@Cigarguys If it's outpatient, it will be more comforting for him to know that he will be home as soon as the surgery is over. Prayers and well wishes for your oldest boy. 🙏 ✨
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@Barefooter25 yes he just came out of surgery and once he wakes up we can take him home

Of course it's okay. You are all in our hearts.

@Poppies I just feel like we've been a lot lately 😔

You carry such a heart in your writings it makes me want to cry when I read them sometimes
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@Boeing you are so sweet thank you so much. It took me years to get here and I have a long way to go but one day at a time. I've learned I have to fight for myself as much as everyone else does and I have alot to fight for right now
Boeing · 36-40
@Cigarguys I see and can understand that...
My prayers for the procedure of the young boy to go well and for his transitioning and healing to happen in the gentlest, smoothest way possible 🙏
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@Boeing he is doing well and resting. We are watching him all night just to be sure he's ok and not in any pain

Prayers
and a diversion video for your son.

It is hard and it is normal for your son to be scared and it will be better;
Fortunately - blessedly, your son has the best security, love and examples in you and family. 🤗

Hope it all goes ok 🙁
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@GoFish I know it be okay. I just hate that he's so scared and thinks he did something wrong. We'll get him though tomorrow and spoil him the next few days and he won't remember why he was so scared

@geoam1 thank you friend, I will update tomorrow when I can
Hey, how is it now? How did it go???
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
Aww poor guy...what procedure is it for his foot?
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@Baybreeze we plan on spoiling him very much for the next few days. He's almost 10 but he's more like a 5 year old mental

He's not a big ice cream kid but he loves yogurt so we're going to get all his favorite flavors.

We're going to get him a Mario game of his choice after the surgery as a reward
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@Cigarguys That's good news, you are both wonderful dads🍀 I'm sure he'll be on the mend in no time.
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@Baybreeze thank you that means alot to us
Why is he being operated?
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@AoNoSora they are getting ready to take him back in about 10 minutes
@Cigarguys
I hope it goes well
U have my prayers
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@AoNoSora thank you
Musicman · 61-69, M
You know I am praying 🙏🙏🙏 I had to have four screws put in my hip when I was 12. I didn't like that so I know where he is coming from. A year from now he will have forgotten about it and be glad it's done. 😊♥♥♥
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@Musicman I know it was just hard to hear him say he'd try harder to not walk on his toes. But tomorrow will be a small set back and we have a good plan to get him back on his feet as soon as possible. You are so kind for praying for my family so much. Thank you
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Cigarguys Anytime, you can always count on me 😊
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
@Musicman this means so much to me thank you
