She was nervous at first, until I showed her the handouts and answered her questions. She was actually ready to get it done.
She was hanging tough all the way through hugging her dad goodbye. When she got to me she gave me a hug, and pulled back, and looked in my eyes. She had tears welled up. It was so hard not to burst into tears.
But I got through it. I asked what was wrong. She told me she was scared. I asked what she was scared about? Are you afraid of it hurting? She said yes.
I told her if hurts, to tell the nurse or doctor and that they would give her medicine to make it not hurt. I also told her if she has any questions to ask. They will answer her questions. And with the ok to ask her questions, she walked away, to have her surgery.
Wow! What an amazing little person she is.
