Layout about my youngest ds's scary first eye surgery...

Journaling reads: Grant, you truly are my miracle baby. Your brush with death at one week old had left your little eyes very crossed. We had you examined by a specialist and he told us that surgery was the only way to fix your muscle problems. We were assured that this type of eye surgery was fairly easy on the patient and we had the best Dr. in the state so I felt fairly comfortable with it. After we got there and got checked in they gave you a shot to make you sleepy....you went to sleep almost immediately. In just a few minutes they came and took you away...I remember feeling like my heart was being ripped from my chest. The surgery was over before we knew it and they came and gave us a great report. You had done so well. They immediately placed you in my arms and let me hold you and rock you. You were crying on and off coming out of the anesthesia...all of a sudden, your crying got hoarse and then quit altogether...you started seizing in my arms and turning blue...I panicked. I had watched you almost die once before and now it was happening again. The nurse grabbed you and screamed for the Dr. Now, seeing that the nurse had panicked too, I got hysterical...they told Daddy to calm me while they worked on you. In a matter of minutes they had you stabilized and breathing again. Your gag reflex is so sensitive...has been since birth and it had caused a laryngeal spasm which had cut off your air supply. In those few minutes, my own heart stopped beating...I couldn't believe this was happening again. Very quickly though, I realized that God had once again protected you. Our Heavenly Father must have some very big and very special plans for your life, my sweet boy. I pray that you always listen to God's direction and I pray that you will always be...protected by God.
