Our fourth day in Edmonton and we got to meet the Multidisciplinary team at the Stollery Children’s Hospital, inside the University of Alberta Hospital. They are pretty much the team we will be dealing with through entire procedure of baby’s operation and stay at the hospital. We got to tour the hospital and the NICU where the baby will be before and after surgery. It was a bit hard to go in there, they only have 16 babies at a time and the few babies we got to see were sooo tiny and hooked up to sooo much machinery which is what I am sure our baby will have to go through. It was hard and I am sure it will be harder once it’s my own child in there strapped down to all those machines, I’ve seen many pictures of other kids and I know what to expect but I don’t know if it will be different once I see my own little baby.
I just hope and pray that our baby will be sooo strong and surprise the medical team and be able to feed without a feeding tube, just so we can hold him/her at least until the surgery is performed.
Anyways the day went ok and the kids behaved really well through the meeting which was so helpful. to be cont.
