Oh honey. My heart goes out to you and your family. I totally agree with Alan. You are reacting perfectly normally. Do trust in the medical team - they will do right by your daughter. I will keep you in my thoughts. Please come back and let us know how she goes.
My friend's DD had a brain tumour which had to be removed (a major op) and she went through the same feelings as you. Its fear of the unnknown and very normal. We are all here for you.
BTW friend's DD came through it fine and just has a scar under her hair.
It is so natural to feel the way you do . I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now. Please know that the surgeons have your DD's safety as their utmost concern, I'm sure she is in very safe hands.
I will be thinking of you, your DD and your family and praying for you all .
Oh what a terrible situation to be in. No wonder you are so concerned - it would be terribly scary. I can't imagine what you are going through. Keep the faith and trust the medical team will do the best by your precious girl. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers, praying for her to come through her operation safely and have a speedy recovery.
I think the thoughts you are having are completely normal in your situation
My DD has had two anaesthetics in the past few months and one procedure. They weren't as full on procedure wise, but still scary.
I work as a vet nurse and see surgery's and handle anaesthetics daily, and I was still scared. I had bad dreams prior to the procedure the last time, and we had an incident at work with a similar procedure which did not end well.
I felt awful being so scared for her life. I wouldn't share with DH either because he was more scared of the unknown than I was. So I tried to carry the burden alone.
They do have people at the hospital who are trained in helping you through this emotionally as well. Use them, they are more experienced with what you are going through than you are and can help alleviate your fears.
