In 2 days, my 6yo son

[Cie]

is scheduled for heart surgery to patch a VSD. I have struggled with this for several months, but the anxiety is now getting to me in a big way. I have barely slept for a week and any sleep I do get is in no way restful. I am not ready for this, but fortunately he is. He knows that he will be out of action for few weeks, but remains unphased. It's hard to believe this is happening now, particularly because he shows no symptoms. He is active, playing sports and swimming around the clock. Hell, two weeks ago his 6u coach pitch team was awarded a 6u world series title in gulf shores/orange beach in 100 degree heat index. Clearly, this VSD has not held him back in any way, and yet open heart surgery awaits him in 2 days. Please keep my boy in your thoughts.

Sorry to hear Cie, wishing you the best and a speedy recovery for your little one.....:0008

I will be thinking of you in the upcoming days. Just keep positive thoughts and if he's healthy I'm sure things will go great, he will bounce back quickly, and be back on his feet in no time. I never want to see a child go through anything like this but I'm sure he will do great!

I will be thinking about you and your family this week. Don't forget that no symptoms also means that he has not suffered. You're a great Dad who is making sure that his son will have the best life possible. I can't wait until he is fully recovered and y'all are back travelling, playing ball or going to Saint games.

Who dat gonna recover quickly. Good Luck

Kids are so resilient and without fear, keep your chin up he'll be fine.

Positive thoughts your way for your boy and your family. I can't imagine how I would be feeling right now if it was my 6 yr old undergoing this.
Stay strong for your family, Jack.

Wow man, I hate what you must be going through. All the best for you, the wife, the little guy and the rest of the Cie family. With the technology they have today, I'm sure your boy will be fine but I'm sure very difficult to go through for the family.

Keep us posted, Jack, and I send all the good vibes I can possibly gather up.

very true! I've seen many parents take strength and learn lessons from the kid when this stuff happens.

Many kids also need to be reminded that they aren't responsible for their illness, and anxiety the family is going thru. They sometimes times fear that, it's good to reassure them that isn't the way it is. But sounds like your little one has a good grasp of things....thoughts and prayers your way, a fast and solid recovery, stay strong!

Good luck Jack, and stay strong. Your much needed rest will make you strong for him. Easy for me to say, but I am sure very difficult for you. Peace.
