I can hear your pain...I'm sorry that this has happend...but if you think of all the reasons why your daughter (and you) chose to have the surgery, that will answer your question as to why you let her go.  You let her go because that is what she (and you) needed.  She has the surgery so that she could do all of those fun things all the other kids her age are doing...so please don't blame yourself for any of this...you did what any great mom would have done...you let her go!
I'll say a prayer for you and your family that you're able to get the care she needs.  Keep your chin up Barb and don't ever doubt what a great mom and inspiration you are to SO MANY people!!!

Barb,  I will definitely keep Sarah in my prayers.  As parents we have to allow our children to be as normal as possible.  We cannot forsee what will happen in the future so we do the best that we can.  She could have fallen at home and done the same damage I am sure. So do you wrap her in cotten to keep her safe, of course not!  You do what we all do..... The best we can to see that they have a normal life!  No matter what happens remember that If God brought us to it he will bring us through it! 

Big Hug,
