Surgery time.
Tomorrow we go in for surgery to remove the cyst that they found on Matthew’s voice box. They found the cyst when he went in for reversal surgery for his stoma and they couldn’t ventilate him. While they are in there they are going to have a good look around and see if they need to remove his adenoids. If so, they will remove them at the same time to avoid two surgeries. I am not looking forward to being with Matthew while they put him under anesthesia. Anthony told me that last time Matthew was crying and ‘freaking out’ because of the odd sensations in his body. I’m scared. Of all of it. I know I shouldn’t be because we have the best team assembled, but I cannot help it. I am a mum. This is now a normal occurrence for me; to worry for my child. I just need to contain how much adrenaline I pump into my body so I don’t overdose on it. I will feel much better when he is out of the Intensive Care Unit and back to breathing on his own. Good luck my handsome prince! I love you and I’ll kiss it all better tomorrow.

Hey darling Pam
No matter what, you will always worry for your child… my “children” are 23, 20 and 17 and I will always come up with something on a regular basis.
But you and Ant & Matty will never cease to amaze me with your courage and inner strength and shared love which always brings you safely through these tough times.
I’ll be thinking and praying for you tomorrow.
Love & hugs all round
Auntie Libby
