I am so sorry Sammy is in such pain. My older son had just turned 3 when he had his open heart surgery (1979), but they did real good with pain management. Even so, I KNOW how it devastates you to have a little one go through OR. My older son did that once a year for his first 4 years...his daughter had open heart when she turned 4...and he went back under in the cath lab last year...they stopped and restarted his heart trying to reset his A-fib. My younger son had febrile seizures at 15 months old and would quit breathing every time and require resusitation. There is NO FEAR like having your much loved little ones ill or hurt. What you are going through reminds all too vividly and painfully of what we went through. Please KNOW that we care, and want this to be over swiftly and as easily as possible. {{{Hugs}}} |
