Husband nervous about tenotomy

[Guest guest]

Okay everyone, Lucas' tenotomy is scheduled for the 18th. The one he

had before (here) was done under anesthesia because the doc said it

was barbaric not to. No sense in traumatizes the baby....and so on.

So, as most of you know, my husband is in Iowa City with Lucas

(without me ) and he's worried about the tenotomy. Said he

wasn't going to be in there for it. I'm said I was pretty sure the

parents were there too, but I'd double check. So, were you in there

to hold and comfort? After I told him he may have to be there, he

said he didn't think he could do it, for his sake. I told him he

needed to be there for Lucas' sake. It's so hard, sometimes I want

to tell him to suck it up and be there!!! This is the first time

he's had to deal with everything- usually I've been the bad guy

putting on the brace, taking him to appts, etc.... He said he

didn't want Lucas to think he was the one hurting him. Any advice?

Some good news- we're going to the s! Apparently they took

molds of Lucas' feet last Friday in between casts and my

husband " forgot " to tell me until yesterday.

Just a week and a half!!! I can't wait. Lucas said hi to me on the

phone! I'm going to squeeze like crazy when I see him.
