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.

Aww poor guy...what procedure is it for his foot?
Cigarguy · 41-45, C
@Baybreeze he was some bone deformity in his foot and they are going to repair them. It's causing him to walk on his toes with his left foot, which will lead to knee and hip issues when he gets older. Is he correct it now will be able to use the afos to fix it within a year to 18 months and he will be walking normal.

@Cigarguy I would probably say I'm good too .Awww. hopefully he'll understand it's an important procedure. And he can have ice cream for lunch after surgery!! I hope lol... Something to give him for being a trooper🙂

@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
