Lylas 2nd Surgery

[LysetteOlmeda]

Well we recieved the news we knew was coming... Lyla needs a shunt. She is having surgery on Tuesday. Im nervous of course but very confident in her medical staff. They are amazing. They say she should be home by the next day so thats comforting to know. Also she recieved her 1st set of casts! They looks so cute on her little legs :) She will go every week to get them adjusted. So far everything is going smotthly considering... lol I just want this next surgery done and over with fast... I realize that she may encouter numerous surgeries in the future but I refuse to dwell on that. Its not that Im being ignorant I just want to enjoy every moment with her as a baby and not worry about if shes gonna walk or so many other things. Of course they are on my mind but I push them aside, I just love her so much and Im blessed to have her in my life regardless of the situations that may arise. I hope everyone is doin well and Ill let you know how the surgery goes.

Good luck for Tuesday!
I think you have a wonderful attitude - you're giving Lyla the best possible start to what we all hope will be a long and happy life!

Aawww, that's a pity, Lysette! But I agree, you have a wonderful attitude. I wish the surgery wasn't necessary, but I'm glad you have so much confidence in her medical team. I'm sure the operation will go smoothly and hopefully it will be the last for at least a long while. Good luck!

Hi Lysette, my heart goes out to you as you go through this time with Lyla. It sounds as though you are doing beautiful work with her. God Bless, Eleanor, Ottawa Canada

You are right-- just enjoy your baby and don't dwell on all the possibilities that can arise. Worrying does absolutely no good! Sometimes that's easier said than done.

My daughter didn't get her shunt until she was 3 months old. Just to encourage you, her surgery went very smoothly. She was only in the hospital for one night and I couldn't believe how quickly she recovered. Hope all goes well for your little Lyla!

I will keep you in my prayers for Tuesday. I know I was really nervous when Alex got his shunt but it was nothing like I imagined and he bounced back like it was nothing at all. Will be thinking of you both and pray that everything goes smoothly!!!

[LisaJoy]

You have an awesome attitude! It sounds like Lyla is getting great medical care, so you should try to relax and enjoy her!

I'll be praying for her and for you!

[LillyPie]

Everything will go as planned and very soon she will be at home, cuddled up with you. I will be thinking of you guys on Tuesday.

Good Luck Lysette and Lyla!
compared to everything she (and you) have gone through, the shunt surgery is a peice of cake! I'll be thinking of you guys Tuesday.

We will keep your family in our prayers. You have a very positive attitude and that is such a good thing. I know that when our little one had her first shunt surgery, she was 2 days old the first time, I got teary eyed in the recovery room. I was so thankful that it had went good, but she looked so helpless and pitiful. But she bounced back so fast it is amazing how strong a little baby is.

[LysetteOlmeda]

Well tomorrow is the day!!! Im hopeing it will go by fast... but I know its actually gonna take an eternity :( Ill post an update as soon as I hear from her surgeon! Thanks for all your good wishes and prayers! xoxoxoxo

These little ones recover so quickly you will be surprised and forget she even had surgery after 3 days or so =) You are in my prayers.....it will soon be in the past!

[LillyPie]

Lyla has been a trooper and she will be a trooper tomorrow too! You guys will be on my mind tomorrow... :happy065:

[valerie]

Good luck will be thinking of you all and she will be out in no time and you will have her back home again... i was the same with cian but was very suprised by how quick kids respond, he was back out again in two days.

[misty]

Good luck today! We are all praying for you and anxiously waiting for an update!

You do have a great attitude, and you are so much wiser than I was at your age. I don't think I appreciated the baby stage as much as I should have with my first baby (she's now 24!) I just love, love, love babies and that first year goes by so fast. You are absolutely right to just enjoy every little moment. Positive thoughts being sent your way. I'm sure Lyla will come through fine, especially with the great family she has rooting for her.

[Krit]

Great big hugs to you and Lyla! I hope everything goes smoothly and we can't wait to hear how she - and you! - are doing!

Love Krit xx:happy065:
