so yesterday my 11 month old had a minor abdominal procedure done. Worse feeling that I have ever felt for the whole day. Checked in a 7 and did pre ops. We waited in the family play room for what seemed like an eternity. Then came the part where they rolled him away. Hardest thing I have ever been through. I felt helpless. We then have to wait in the waiting room. About 1hr an a half went by and I see our doctor come out. And he tells us all is well and we can see him. All is well and surgery went well. But from the helpless feeling I went into an anxiety /chest pain/light headed state for the time. Even hours and hours after getting home. I could feel my chest feeling like it was tied in a knot. I feel blessed knowing my child only had to have a minor procedure done. But I have no idea how parents deal with more major things. My parents had to sit 8hrs through my brain surgery. I have no idea how they managed that
