I hear her soft whisper and my heart soars. She's been asleep since the operation last night and Dr. Green said this was best for her to heal for now. I'm in a small armchair holding Puppy.

I must have dozed off despite feeling like I was awake all night. Anne dropped by very early this morning with Abby's favorite toy, hoped it might help.

I open my eyes and see Abby staring back at me.

"Puppy," she whispers and makes slow grabby motions with her fingers.

"Abby, sweetheart. Hi. I say and get up to hand Puppy to her. I lean in to kiss her forehead "Shhh, baby girl. Get some more rest.

"It hurts, Mommy." Tears rolled down her cherub cheeks.

My heart breaks for her. I wish I could wave a magic wand and take all this pain away. I wish I could have the pain for myself and spare Abby.

"I know you're scared. It's okay." I push the call button. You're in the hospital. Let's see if the nurse can help with that. I'm here, baby." I rub her hair and hum a nursery rhyme.

The nursing staff came through every two hours to check on Abby's vitals since the operation. They'd gotten me a coffee and some biscuits around midnight. I really needed to pee but I'm not leaving here. I'm not leaving her again. The night nurse came in with a big smile for Abby. "Hey there, sweety. Look at you. You're awake."

"She says it hurts. Is there anything you can give her?" I ask.

"I see. I'll double check Dr. Green's instructions and give him a quick call."

"Thank you so much."

"A little discomfort is to be expected but we don't want to see her in pain." Nurse turns back to Abby, "can you tell me where it hurts, Abby?"
