Hailey's Decompression surgery is in three weeks. Hailey knew about the surgery, but we had only given her the minimal information because we did not want her to worry for very long. With surgery nearing, she started asking questions. We realized it was time to really talk with her about the surgery and answer any questions she had.
Hailey really surprised me at how well she took things. She even tried to make jokes about things. When we talked to her about how they may have to shave some of her hair, she asked if we could get her a wig so she could look like Hannah Montana. She was a bit nervous about the IV, but she really calmed down about it and has decided it's for the best. Her biggest concern is that she will not be able to eat or drink the day of the surgery. In fact she mentions it often.
I am so proud of the way she is handling this. Far beyond her seven years of life.
