Donniev Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 My 8 month old daughter Everly was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, meaning the left side of her heart is worthless. She had her 3rd open heart surgery 3 weeks ago, things didn't go as smoothly as planned due to her awful pulmonary arteries (part of the deal with HLHS). She spent 2 weeks on the vent and finally got it out, but now she's going through morphine withdrawal. Pretty hard to watch her twitch and retch, but she's gotta go through it. She only spent 2 days on the vent the previous 2 surgeries, so it's never been an issue Say a word to help her get through this if you would, docs say some kids withdraw for as long as 2 weeks, were on day 3.

Charles R. Stevens Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 even tho they complain I gladly bend my knees for her. As one parent to another, when you start second guessing whether your a good parent, wether this is some how your fault, it isn't. It's a call to step up and be an even better parent than yours were.
