Its 10:12am. We have been waiting in the cafeteria of the hospital for about an hour now. My little baby is having his extra toes and fingers nubs removed. Its a minor surgery and I really shouldn't worry but I can't help it. This is my baby we are talking about; the most precious life in my world. Ryatt was born with an extra toe (bone, flesh, nail and all) on each foot and the beginnings of an extra finger on each hand. How special is that! We are expecting for it all to be removed and reshaped to look "normal". Besides my concern for him going under, I wonder if what we are doing is ok in God's eyes. Ryatt's making was the Lord's miracle to us and here we are making alterations to him. Its like getting a personalized gift from someone and then taking it to get revamped the next day. Maybe im looking into it alil much...but I can't help it. I really wish this wasnt an issue. I wish he could keep his original blueprint and never be made fun of for it. I wish it would never be a problem finding shoes or have foot problems. But I know that's not how it goes. Which is why I know this is how it has to be.
I can't stop thinking about how he's doing right now. I can only keep my faith that the Lord has heard my prayers ; he's sent down an angel to look after his child to make sure all goes well.
UPDATE: My super duper strong lil man is recovering well and resting at home. He was released the same day and sent home with meds. Ryatt woke up refreshed, like he had a nice long nap (which he did lol) but because of the meds he took a second long nap when he got home. Hes rockin LSU colored casts on both legs and is learning to navigate on them. I dont think these purdy boots are gonna stop this boy from continuing his quest to walk.
To all our family and friends: From the bottom of our hearts; Thank you! Your support helped us keep our sanity through this stressful experience and was so greatly appreciated.
