Amélie had her 3rd Day Surgery

This past Monday Amélie had her 3rd Day Surgery at the Stollery Hospital. The week leading up to her surgery day is always tense for me. Although I know what to expect, I know how the procedure will go, I know that she is in great and capable hands, and I know that they will take care of my baby.

I hold onto my faith 🙏🏿 while still anxious. Quite the juxtaposition but bear in mind, I am still a parent struggling with ptsd and overcoming mom guilt from this whole ordeal (I'm working on that I promise). My mind wanders and goes to the "worst case scenario", what if her esophagus ruptures from the dilation, what if she doesn't wake up from the anesthesia, and etc. It's truly a vicious cycle if I'm being completely transparent 😥

With that said, I'm happy to share that all went well with no complications! It was so nice to see some familiar faces and new ones ❤ The Stollery always treat us so well. If you're looking for ways to support a non-profit this holiday season please consider @stollerykids
