Default Spaying my 5 yr old baby....HELP !!!

Please understand first that i DO know the benefits of spaying and i know all the health risks of not spaying. My yorkie is 5 years old, 6lbs and is very healthy . She is my right arm and goes EVERYWHERE with me even to work. I am an extremely responsible pet owner and have been since i was a kid. (every pet i have ever had has been fixed) But for some reason I am so worried about the anesthesia ( we plan on using Profol ) and worrying about the breathing tube. My male yorkie was neutered and did just fine but he was also a year old at the time. I worry that maybe she is to old.... I plan on having all the pre surgery test run.... but for some reason i cant shake the fact that something bad "could" happen, i am so scared to do this. But now she is getting older if i am going to do it now is the time. I know tons and TONS of these surgeries are done daily. I have talked to my Vet and trust her i am just scared that i will make the wrong choice and something bad will happen to her. Can anyone please put my mind ease. Have any of you had your baby fixed in this age bracket ? Thank you all in advance for your help.
