My mandatory pre-op education class is on Tuesday from 8:45-1:15. If I don't go, my surgery will be postponed a month or more. Tuesday also happens to be my miracle baby's(leukemia survivor) first day of preschool from 9am-12pm. I am so sad and depressed about missing this huge milestone! What would you do? I'm contemplating calling her in sick on Tuesday lol

So I had an emotional breakdown about this tonight. I was so upset that I couldn't find the right outfit for him to wear in first day of kindergarten that I just started crying my eyes out about not being here for him and not having the perfect outfit. I was a mess. This all came about after my 11 year told me she didn't want me to have the surgery because she was afraid I would die. I've been so strong through this whole process and I just let the tears flow. As I go to sleep tonight I pray to the good Lord that he watch over me and let me make it through this surgery. I can't leave my children. I'm not ready for that. Okay' date=' enough if that before I start crying again. I've got to leave for the hospital in 5 1/2,hours.[/quote']

I was a tad older when my mom had rny I remember going into her room the night before and crying my eyes out because I thought she was going to die as well. It has now been about 15 years since she had her very successful rny she has kept the weight off all these years and has been a much better mommy as a result. She was also a great support for me as I went through the process. You will be fine and when your daughter sees you loses the weigh and all you are able to do as a result she will be glad and happy for you. Prays for you today for you and your family!!!

I ended up calling her teacher and she was totally fine with it Sage will never know the difference

I'm having the same issues. My surgery is Sept 3rd which happens to be the first day of school. My son is going into kindergarten and riding a bus. I'm so torn by this. I feel like I'm abandoning him on a special day. My mom will be taking him to the bus' date=' but it tears my heart apart knowing I will miss him on his first few days. I was not fortunate to get my surgery date earlier. If you could reschedule, your date I would. I'm more upset about missing him then I am nervous about the surgery. Good luck with whatever decision you make.[/quote']

I'm so sorry hun. I would be heartbroken if I had to make that decision. I hope your surgery went well today and that your son had a great first day!

As a mother to 3 kids. I would keep her home it's only one day. I have to take my son well idk if he must be present or not I will get his MRI results on his brain like next week. I nervous but if he must miss school so be it. Knowing what's wrong or not within us more important then just missing a day of school.

What's going on with him? My daughter has special medical needs also. She was diagnosed with biphenotypic leukemia when she was 6 months. I highly suggest starting a caringbridge.org site to let family know what's going on/let off steam. My daughter's site is www.caringbridge.org/visit/sagebaker

My son has autism but the neologist wanted to make sure his brain is developing correctly. Clear out anything else that might be wrong with him.
