time stood still for 45 minutes

For the first time today ... I had that erie feeling that a parent gets sometimes.


This AM Kalli has her tonsils and adnoids removed.  This is a very minor procedure and she done great.  She is resting comfortably.  Communicating quietly with laptop.


After they gently put her to sleep ... I had 45 minutes of realizing for the first time in her life ... I was helpless to her if she needed me.  Not a very good feeling and went againist all my promises of keeping her safe.


When the doctor came out and told us she was in recovery ...  I made the walk down those halls that seem to go on for miles and I found her.


Just wanted to let her know I was back on my watch ...   <):{

  4. Glad she's doing well... lots of ice cream that's the trick :) *smiles* As hard as it is for us to deal with sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to try to let go of that "control" a little to let them be able to do what they need to do.. but *smile* they always need us, and we will always be there for them... in knowing that, it gives them the courage and freedom to soar :) she'll be right as rain before you know it
