Hi, I’ll try to keep this short.
I have an almost 2 year old little girl, and she is the only person, really anything, in life that I care about. I can’t imagine my life without her. That being said this is extremely hard on me.
A few days ago she burnt her feet really really bad (2ND degree burns) on the top and side of the feet, and in between the toes. We took her to ER immediately after it happened and they sent us to another hospital who has burn specialists. They took her into a quick little surgery (she was just sedated to my understanding and wasn’t under general anesthesia) to help the wounds and get some of the skin. 2 days after that she had a surgery under general anesthesia (which was the hardest thing I’ve ever done as a parent.. I felt defeated and like I let my daughter down as she sat there scream crying cause of the medicine). It was about an hour long surgery and it went well they said. We took her home 36 hours after that, and during that night before bed I heard her whining so I went to check and she was as hot as the sun, so I took her back to the ER at 3:30am and they gave her an IV and medicine to bring it down. She was at 105 when she got there. Through out that whole day she was miserable. She seemed out of it entirely, didn’t want to eat any food or even sweets. Didn’t want to play, and just slept.
Now she has another surgery and hopefully the last one tomorrow morning. After seeing her like this I’m terrified the anesthesia is too much for her and it’s gonna... ya know... and I keep freaking out and crying cause I don’t want to lose my baby girl. The doctor said it’s normal the way she’s acting but for me it wasn’t, she seemed so sad and out of it. I’m sacred that 3 surgeries in a week is too much for a 2 year old and it’s gonna take a big toll on her..
Does anyone have any stories related to mine that can help me? I’m terrified and can’t sleep cause I keep crying ..
