I've canceled surgery and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest (at least until it is scheduled again). I'm actually really happy with my decision especially after I was informed that Monday starts the restricted visiting hours... which means immediate parents only and nobody with any colds/illnesses allowed.
My mom was going to stay over at the hospital with me to help take care of Ben when Mike went home to sleep for the night (my mom and I fit better in the pull out couch than Mike and I do). That wouldn't have been allowed. Also, I've come down with something and have lost my voice. Odds are, I would be better by then but if I wasn't... I wouldn't be allowed. My mom is also starting to feel like she is coming down with something.
So now we have one less thing to worry about this December. A Christmas without surgery and recovery will be nice!

I'm so glad you listened to your gut on this one. Now you all can just enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
Viv had major heart surgery last December - so we spent Christmas in the CVICU. Even though she's got 2 more choanal atresia procedures this month, it's a much less stressful holiday season than last year, and we're enjoying it so much!
Feel better soon!
Glad you will have a surgery-free, recovery-free holiday! The surgery will wait--Ben's already had more than his share of medical recoveries this year!
Thank you for the card and the bookmark. The bookmark is SO cute! You are so crafty!
I think you made a wise decision. Relax and enjoy your holidays!
Hugs from Lisa & Kennedy

I've always tried to keep December free of surgeries and even doctor appointments. It's the one time of year when I feel justified just in taking a break from all of that. I'm very happy for you, now you'll be able to just enjoy the season like you're supposed to. Hope everyone starts feeling better around there too. Don't want to be sick for Christmas!
