Parker's Promise

Today I am thankful for amazing nurses and doctors that actually listen to what I have to say and answer ALL of my questions. Yesterday I had massive amounts of doctors and teams come one after the other. The head and nose doctor said one thing, the attending pediatrician said "no not that, we are doing this." Then anesthesia came in and said "No, they are doing it this way." It was very confusing. I also read each and every consent asking "wait- why does it say this." Which led to all kinds of questions and better explanations and understanding of the procedure. One of the residents even said "Wait- it says that?" Thankfully I had an AMAZING nurse who heard me telling everything to my husband and she thought "Oh- if only I could explain everything." Which she did. She sat down with me and explained everything, brought my concerns to the attending physician who came back in and really took the time to explain the discrepancies in terminology and that they were really all talking about the same thing. I had some other concerns about the pain medication he is on in conjunction with the anesthesia, which they listened to, thought about and are going to time the medications so they do not overlap for the procedure. I just want to make sure he has every chance of extubation being successful. The procedure is not until later today. Please pray that everything will go smoothly today exactly as it should.
