Nyana has a one-on-one with her favourite Nurse Awesome.
It’s less than twelve hours before Nyana’s surgery, and I have yet to go to bed. It’s not that I’m up worrying about it—to be honest, I’m not too nervous about the procedure itself at all. I’m more nervous and hung up on what g-tube surgery means for the next twelve, 18 months of our lives, and stuck on the “what-if’s” of if and when things go wrong.
Don and I are confident that we’re making the right decision and we’re humbled and overwhelmed by the love and support that all of you have shown us leading up to her big day. We’d be honoured if you’d leave her a comment today and wish her luck.
Thanks again to all of you for cheering the three of us on.

Sending positive thoughts that the surgery goes well. I think of it as the next step on her journey to be home with Mum & Dad. Good luck, Nyana. Hugs for Mum & Dad.
You are an amazing family. Keep us posted. ♥♥♥
PS A member of my family has had a lot of experience being the mother of an infant and then a toddler with a G tube (tubbie as they call it) including some of the ups & downs you mentioned. She got a lot information and support (some from online communites) from families in similar situations. I’m sure she would recommend some resources if you are interested. She has become very well informed and skilled at advocating for and caring for her daughter – just as you have for Nyana. I know you have great doctors and nurses, but if you feel information from another mother would be helpful let me know (via FB or my email) and I’ll contact her.

Thinking about you today, Nyana. Read your birth story again.
You are a beautiful miracle of love!
Dear Nyana,
My mommy is typing this for me because I fell asleep. I just wanted to wish you lots of luck today. My mommy tells me this will make you feel better so that you can get home sooner to your mum and dad and kitties. I have to tell you, home is a lot of fun. I hope you get there soon so we can meet up along this seawall we both keep hearing about – I haven’t been there yet either.
Lots of love and luck,
your friend Andre (and his mommy Shannon)
I know you’re tired of being strong, and tired of being remarkable–this goes for both you, Ny, and your awesome parents. But the thing is… you are strong. You are remarkable. And I’m so proud of all three of you that it brings tears to my eyes.
So get out your calendar, because I’m going to book a playdate for you, the Frog, and the Monkey. So what if the date’s unspecified right now–we’re used to being on your time. We’ll go out in the sunshine, and the fresh air–you’ll love it–and you and the aliens will get filthy dirty like little piglet children, and run your parents ragged. You just keep rocking on in Nyana time, and when you’re ready, we’ll be there. Promise.
Love you all so much.
We’re all thinking of you today, Nyana! You’ll do great. Max warmly welcomes you to the g-tube club. 🙂 One step closer to home!
Good luck today, Nyana! Will be thinking of you all today!
Nyana you really are such a beautiful, shining light. I’m sure you’ll tackle this, just like you have so many other things so far, like a rockstar!
Wishing you the very best for an uneventful and smooth surgery!
We love you, Nyana! Good luck today!! — not that you’ll need it….show that g-tube who’s boss! 😉
Love, Olivia, Caleb and Noah 🙂 ❤
Praying for a successful surgery and recovery! Along with Peace and Joy! ❤
Show them what you’re made of, sweetie!
Nyana today you will show everyone just how amazing you are! Sending lots of prayers and positive vibes to you and your mommy & Daddy.
Nyana,
I know you will handle this procedure like the Princess Champion you are!
Remember to smile lots when your mum and dad get to see you before and after, because that will make them really happy.
Lots of us will be waiting to hear how you are doing.
Just think, one more step on the way to going home!
I agree, Nurse Awesome does look awesome!
I’m late getting here today. Been thinking about you all morning. I know you’ll rock the surgery. Looking forward to hearing from your mum and dad to hear how things went. Hugs from Iowa.
I continue to say prayers and light candles for Nyana.
I am also late in getting here. I am hoping it is all done and everything went great.
Hugs,
Deb
Healthy thoughts and prayers for you. I can’t wait to hear how awesome you did.
Good Luck Nyana. ❤
Also, a big good luck to the parents. Staying strong throughout this whole journey is incredible. You guys are definitely an inspiration!
Go Nyana Go Go Nyana! Thinking of you all today!! We are sure you will make us see how amazing you are again:)
Lots of warm fuzzies and much, much love are sent your way, Nyana. I have been thinking about you all morning and have waited to write this until I knew you would be undergoing the operation ~ the fuzzies will keep you happy and strong and the love will keep you warm.
Love you Ladybug,
Grannie
