My poor lil girl!!!! My 6 yr daughter Brittney, has to go in next week on the 6th and have surgery.

she has stones in her submandibular gland and they have to take them out becaue their considered an obstruction and causeing pain, and major swelling to her neck when she eats....her neck looks a little bit bigger than a golfball after eating. I'm scared because I did some reasearch on the internet and it says that she could need her whole gland removed if the prob. reoccurs and that if theres a mistake it can leave her prmantly damamged....the side that they are working on could be paralized as well as her bottom lip....

please keep her in your thoughts I'm very nervous and scared about the whole thing and just want it to be over for her. ↓

I know your feeling....my daughter went through several surgery's when she was young, and let me tell you! it never got easy.

Keep the faith, she will be fine!

My thoughts are with you and your daughter. ↑

I pray for your little Princess that she is healed & back to her normal self again & please dont go looking on net for stuff that the Doctors dont even say to you, its all too dramatized on the net & you'll end up freaking out & you dont need that stress,
i pray for peace for you Mum, hang in, be strong & keep the faith,
God bless you & your family
