On tubes

Dearest Son,

The paediatric surgeon said that your condition has worsen this morning and you start to experience breathing difficulties. They did a CT scan on you and found that the cyst is beginning to compress on your trachea causing you to have stridor. They have decided to tube you as a preventive measure. Your mummy cried when she saw you with all the tubes going into you through both your mouth and nose.

Your mummy and I had a talk with the paediatric surgeon and they have decided to perform the cyst excision operation on you on Tuesday. We are very worried as there will be some risk involve during the general anesthesia. Please be strong during the operation my son.


Love always,
daddy
