Zoesmom, you're dealing with what could have been a life-threatening situation for
your husband. It's natural that you would have been in a panic state for hours after
the surgery was completed and until you learned that your husband is going to be fine, so far as the doctors know.

Try to bring yourself into tonight in your thinking and care for your son with all your love and then go to your husband to help where you can there. Then, relax, rest, and know that you did the best you could for your family for this one day.

Tomorrow will have its own things to take care of. Live one day at a time until you
feel more secure. That's how you get through these things.

You're panicing, I think, out of residual fear regarding his life's danger before surgery.

Now it's time to let those emotions go in the privacy of your own bedroom with all the tears you need to get it out of your system. Then, thank the Heavenly Powers that he is going to be okay and try to concentrate on one day only. (Been there, done that.)

Doing things for them, Zoesmom, is what's going to make you stronger--that and
getting proper rest at night. Get your rest schedule established and try to adhere to it.

If you feel you need it, contact your psychiatrist. Otherwise, think about trying
to keep the home situation as normal as possible. Tomorrow morning, it's breakfast for your son, then off to work or the hospital, or whatever your schedule is. Everyone is alive and going to be well very soon. Think about those things, including what a great Christmas your son will have this year.

Take care; the prayers are going up, I know.

Talk to you later.
