Handing your baby over to a surgical team is not in the parenting handbooks.
In this powerful episode, Johanna and Peter take you inside one of the hardest days of their lives — the day of their son's first surgery. From managing a fasting six-month-old, to sitting in the waiting room desperately trying not to think the worst, to holding him again once he woke up from anesthesia, this is a glimpse into what it's like to parent through the unimaginable.
If you're facing a pediatric surgery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers honesty, hope, and the reminder that you're not alone.
