I cancelled the surgery

Maddie&EthansMom wrote: I cancelled Ethan's surgery for now. DH and I want to wait until the first of the year. The office was fine with that. It's really strange that they made it sound so urgent and made me get all worried and when I called she said "Okay just call at the first of the year to reschedule." It doesn't bother him at all and doesn't cause him pain otherwise I would go ahead with it.

Just thought I would let you all know.

coasterqueen replied: Glad that it's not an urgent thing. Maybe now you can just enjoy the upcoming holidays and worry about that later .

jcc64 replied: Sounds like a good move. My brother (while not a baby), has been walking around with one for YEARS (and he's a dr). I'm sure it's fine if you wait until you're more ready for it.

DansMom replied: Way to trust your inner voice---you need to enjoy the holidays.

Boys r us replied: Did you speak to the Dr or the receptionist to reschedule it? I only ask b/c the receptionist may not realize if it's urgent or not. Anyhow, If it's not bothering him and putting it off won't risk making it worse, then it's probably a good thing to give yourselves some extra time to get adjusted to the idea!

MomToMany replied: As long as it's not bothering him, I'd say it's fine. I know Logan had a terrible time with his, and that's why he had it done so young (at 3 mos. old).

It will be better to wait until the holidays and all that stress is over with too. Good for you for listening to your Mommy intincts .

I spoke with the lady who schedules the surgeries. She is very familiar with the situation. I would never just leave a message with the receptionist. They were going to hold off until Dec 31st, but happened to have an opening on the 26th of this month and that tells me it could wait until January. They must have thought we already met our deductible, but we haven't and since it is $1000 I wanted to wait to meet it in January instead of the end of this year. KWIM?

A&A'smommy replied: well its probably better because now you have more time to prepare mentally and finacially! ((HUGS)) I bet you feel better now that you have a little time to get ready!

u and your family are still in my prayers!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: That's probably a good move to wait until after the holidays. This way you can better prepare for it financially and emotionally. I hope all goes well.
