I know exactly how you feel. My daughter had hers put in the week of her first birthday. Luckily my husband was there before the surgery. The give them this medicine that makes them kind of out of it or thats what they did to her. That was the hard part. But i promise to you they will have her back in your arms in minutes. My daughter was back in my arms in like 7 minutes. It is a very quick procedure. And if she has been fussy before you will see a 180 degree change in her. Just know it is very quick and they do these everyday. So don't worry. If you have any questions please ask me and i will do my best to answer them.
