These pictures were taken after Barnabas' surgery when he was 4 days old. We were worried sick each time we hear the machines beep............... I had to continue to take my Bp medicine just to help me to relax! I wasn't used to seeing such a small baby with so many tubes and needles going in and out of him. I remembered crying for 3 days after I saw how the doctors put in the drip via his arms, legs & head!!!!!!!!! Those who knows me well will know that I get real scare whenever I see a needle............ I need to apply Emlar to numb the site before a needle can even go near me! Poor Barn...... got to suffer so much.......sad! But we were also very thankful that the surgery was a success even though the doctors told us that it was 90% mortality rate............. he only had 10% rate of survival.................... you should see how worried Tommy was! I wasn't even awared of the surgery. Everyone was worried that I might breakdown at the news of his surgery. Barnabas needed 2 surgeries - one to bring up the intestines and the other to closed it when he was older............. Must be very painful for him then!
