Need prayers ladies

Original post by GettinHutched

My dear, sweet niece (my adorable FG that you saw tons of pictures of) is having surgery tomorrow. It's really not a dangerous surgery to have, but all I can think about is how scared she'll be once she's in there.

She has a problem with double vision, so her eyes are being operated on. She won't be able to go to school for a week or do any kind of PE activities for 2 weeks. Supposedly the recovery period is not so attractive...we've heard that the eyes kind of look like the devil. Just the thought of that little angel looking like that....

I know she'll be fine...but please for her tomorrow.

This kid has been through so much- this is her second surgery. Her first was on her heart when she was 2 (she's 5 now).

I talked to her tonight and she was so cute...she kept bringing up surgery and that it's 'More bad than being sick' She did say the one good thing is once she's healed she gets to go to Build A Bear- just herself, without her sister!

Thanks for listening. Just a worried aunt here.

TIA for your and

********UPDATE (also on pg 2)******:
Thank you all sooo much.

Everything went fine- getting her in the room and having her put under was HARD. She was hysterical, kicking and screaming. Can only imagine how scared she was and how awful it was for her parents.

They basically went in to fix the muscles in her eyes. And now her eyes look terrible- I can't see her since I'm in NJ. But with that surgery she got to come home right away. I talked to her and she was just a little whiny but she's fine. She just sees very blurry right now. And the sunlight really bothers her.

Thanks for your prayers! You know this kid means the world to me.

Oh Tara I am so sorry to hear that your little angel has to go through this. Hopefully this will be the last one for her. I would tell you not to worry but I know that will fall on deaf ears - I would be beside myself if one of nephews had to have surgery. But have faith that she will be fine and bounce back quickly - kids are resilent little buggers. And just think, this is just ONE MORE excuse to spoil the heck out of her.

Prayers for your neice - may she get through this as quickly as possible.
