Might be in the wrong group 🙄

This long and a bit gruesome 🤦🏾‍♀️

So my amazing brave 8yr old fainted Monday and busted the corner of her eye. She’s lucky she didn’t lose her eye (praise to the most high) Thank you lord 🙏🏾 also thank you to the nhs 👩🏾‍⚕️

So we don’t know just yet what is making her faint as this is the 2nd time in less than 6 months.

We spent 7.5 hours all together in a&e.. I would just like to thank the staff in the 1st hospital, as they made her feel comfortable and are actually looking into what the issue may be.

Well off to the other hospital they were incompetent and very rude.. we were very tired as you could imagine and to be told that the service for my child was free and that she had been at work since 7:30am is unacceptable. If you can’t handle stressed out parents then you are in the wrong profession (of that’s how it’s spelt) .. honestly I was about to apologise because we all were very stressed and a bit abrupt (me,my mum and her dads mum)

We knew surgery was a possibility because strips and glue wouldn’t hold it, we didn’t know it was that wide

This is what it looked like when I got to her as she was out with her dads mum that day..

Anyway back to my long story.

So Monday we were told she needs the surgery main cos of the cosmetic side (minimise scaring) it was my last thought as she’s so young and honestly I’m not bothered about looks and I’m trying to make my daughter the same and the thought of her being put to sleep scared the life out of me.

We were also told even doe it is classed as an emergency they couldn’t guarantee surgery the next day cos it was to late in the evening for her to have it as the person that puts children to sleep wasn’t in and they wanted to make sure it was done safely and correctly, the ophthalmologist that sorted it came in the next morning at 7:30 with us just to make sure he got her on the list even though he was meant to be working until the evening and he got her on the list and in a bed within the hour, I couldn’t of been more grateful for his help. Surgery was done at 12 and by 1:30 the oculoplastic surgeon came to tell me that surgery went well and it was as deep as they thought it was, before surgery all the people that were going to be involved came and spoke to me and her and made sure we ok and knew what was gonna happen, some people have said that she shouldn’t been given so much information but I’m very open with her and like her to know exactly what is going on. I went in to theatre with her until she was asleep then I had to leave but I was back before she came back

I am so happy with the job they have done and the reason why she’s so brave is because she did not cry not even one tear through the pain and ordeal. I know if that was me I would be bawling like a baby. I’m proud because of her bravery, I’m also proud of myself because I didn’t breakdown in front of her.
