Who knows how we found it one day looking for something online, but we added it to our Favorites and we check...funny.<br />Today I couldn't help but write, because we just came out of a similar situation 2 weeks ago with my stepson (who had Femoral Derotational Surgery) and it was very very very hard: but it was over very fast too and now it is almost a distant memory.<br />We will pray for you, the surgery will be over and come out PERFECT and the recovery will fly by.<br />We know you are a nurse, but the situation is very different when it is your family... stay strong!<br />We send you hugs,<br />Ashley Thomas, Maria Fernanda and Antony: The Martino Family in Gainesville, Florida<br />PS:we do have a private blog long time but it is NOT very sassy! We use it for our family in South America, but if in the future you are curiuos to see us shoot me an email and we will authorize you.THE MARTINOShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737307488952645102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-47470900240115857832009-06-21T14:26:23.360-05:002009-06-21T14:26:23.360-05:00So I don't think my comment went through when ...So I don't think my comment went through when I tried before. One of my twin daughters Elyse had bladder and kidney surgery in May. She is 13 mos. old. We decided to take her right kidney out due to 13% function, her left looks ok, it still had some hydronephrosis but is a lot better. Anyway I am a Peds ICU RN and I know what it is like to know a little too much and I totally get how scared you are. Sav will do great and she will bouce back quick. My daughter had a 6 hr surgery and 2 days with a epidural and she did GREAT!!! There are pics on baldwingirls.blogspot.com of her one week after and she is smiling and swinging outside. Hang in there and I will be praying for your family.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497565698569984517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-72036870076427532102009-06-21T13:12:34.201-05:002009-06-21T13:12:34.201-05:00Poor baby!

Anyway, I had the same surgery that Sav is having on her right kidney. Of course it was 19 years ago (it wasn't discovered until I was 7) and I ended up having complications causing a need for another surgery the next week. But since having the surgery I have never had another issue with my kidney. I'm certain that things will work out great for Savannah. I will definitely keep ya'll in my prayers as you approach what is probably going to be a difficult situation for any parent. I think its also good that she is so young so she won't have anxiety about having surgery.<br />Good luck and I'll keep reading to hear how things go and of course to see pictures of your cute babies:)chelsea rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155153811782007670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-9567201516637885132009-06-21T02:17:26.739-05:002009-06-21T02:17:26.739-05:00Poor Sav!

It's very hard to hand over your baby the first time. My own Savannah was born with an eye muscle birth defect (strabismus). She required 4 surgeries to fully correct it & spent 5 years (age 3-8) in bifocals before she was declared HEALED! :) It's hard, but it'll be worth it in the end. I'll be praying for ya!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606570803094936934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-60811749231899524042009-06-19T18:42:17.327-05:002009-06-19T18:42:17.327-05:00Praying for little Sav and your family!Praying for little Sav and your family!KK @ Running Through Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341547391023469001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-82782898291831747442009-06-19T18:01:53.839-05:002009-06-19T18:01:53.839-05:00I enjoy your blog so and am keeping all of you in ...I enjoy your blog so and am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.<br /><br />A Child's Footprints<br /><br />"Walk a little slower Daddy"<br />said a child so small,<br />"I'm following in your footsteps<br />And I don't want to fall."<br /><br />"Sometimes your steps are very fast,<br />Sometimes they're hard to see:<br />So walk a little slower, Daddy,<br />For you are leading me."<br /><br />Someday when I'm all grown up,<br />You're what I want to be;<br />Then I will have a little child <br />Who'll want to follow me."<br /><br />And I would want to lead just right,<br />And know that I was true,<br />So walk a little slower, Daddy<br />For I must follow you!"<br /><br />Love you all,<br /><br />IdahoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-26974896566123974812009-06-19T17:59:59.736-05:002009-06-19T17:59:59.736-05:00Little Miss Savannah...I will be praying for her a...Little Miss Savannah...I will be praying for her and all those that will be working on her.
