Ordeal in the OR

Needles freak out even the bravest folks, and Keely was no exception. When she saw she was about to be poked, she had a full-on anxiety attack in the OR. The medical staff took turns calming her down and finally got the medication in. It was go-time for the surgery.

What was supposed to be a quick, one-hour operation stretched on. Keely’s parents were in the waiting room, getting more anxious by the minute. After five hours with no updates, their worry turned into fear. They started to think the worst, wondering if Keely would make it through. The waiting game was pure torture as they hoped for good news.
