...my little girl is having surgery for a turned eye. It's only day surgery, not a major procedure, but general anaesthetic is needed, and it's never nice seeing one of your children wheeled away into an operating theatre. I have been in floods of tears before when I've seen this happening.
Since I can't bear to watch the operating theatre doors closing, I am sending my husband to Brisbane to be with her for the day surgery tomorrow, and the follow up at the doctor's rooms on Thursday. I get to stay home with the other three kids and keep things running here.
I am praying that all goes well and that the operation fixes the problem. We were told by our optometrist that cosmetically there will probably be good improvement but from a functional point of view only time will tell. Or maybe I have that the wrong way around....I'm feeling a bit scattered about it all at the moment. Like I could just start crying at any minute really. Hope that the feeling will pass and I will feel a bit more peaceful about it all.

I know. Those big doors.
Praying for a peace and a good outcome.
Hospitals in general and kids — strong dislike!
Praying for you all.
I'll be praying.
Thanks for introducing yourself the other night. Lovely to put a face to the name :)
Oh Karen! I will be praying for you and your little girl.
I'm praying too.
Hard times. I shall join the chorus of these sweet women and be praying for you all too.
Thanks everyone, it's lovely to know that you are all out there thinking of us and praying :)
They have just left to go to Brisbane this evening so I am going to work on some committee meeting minutes and then watch Life at Seven on the ABC to keep myself distracted.
And Simone, I am planning a post on TWIST sometime, I really enjoyed it :)
