DH was actually out of town for neurosurgery #2 on my first child (when he was two years old - first surgery was at seven months of age). I think at that point I was kind of numb.

But, yeah, I was the one who took my child to his peds neurosurgeon appts. (including when I was recovering from pneumonia and nursing infant twins). I was the one who sat through the MRI's. I was the one in the recovery room as soon as he got out of surgery every time. DH was either at work, out of town (on a rotation), or doing something for medical school.

Honestly, it led to a LOT of resentment on my part. It almost destroyed my marriage. No joke.

My son is fine now. And, I learned after many, many years to forgive dh. I don't think there is much you can do about the resentment except learn to forgive and move on. And, if you're like me that takes time to work through.

I'm glad your child will be doing better!

I'll be thinking about you and your son tomorrow. You sound like an awesome mom. As far as the resentment, it is sooooooooo normal. Feel it, own it, then let it go. Easier said than done, but don't give the medical lifestyle BS the power to keep you from living and enjoying TODAY with your children, even if your husband can't. Try to remember that 98% of they have no choice, and the other 2% they are terrified to make a choice for fear of retaliation. We are all here for you. There is a reason so many of us have been here on this website for 10 years!!!!

So glad your son is doing great now! I'm with ya on the numb feeling, but for some reason when "good" things happen I feel joy but when it comes to bad news, I guess it just hurts so bad that I can't feel anything.

Because of blizzard conditions and the fact that we only have one AWD vehicle, dh decided to just skip lecture and stay home to study. Looks like he'll make it to the appointments afterall! Just hoping we can make it to the office! LOL
