Tyler felt like an alien in the scrubs. They were foreign and much bulkier than his normal attire of jeans and a chambray shirt.
The nurse handed him a surgical mask. âYouâll need to wear this. Itâs a sterile room and we canât take the chance you might be sick.â
He pulled the mask over his face hating the warm air it forced him to breathe but willing to do anything to keep Laney and the baby safe.
When she appeared satisfied he was as germ free as he could be, the nurse led him out of the room and down the hall to the operating rooms. She pushed open the door and Tylerâs feet stuck to the floor.
He blinked at the sight in front of him. There was a blue curtain set up above Laneyâs belly covering the surgery about to happen below. That was disconcerting, but it was her upper body that bothered him even more. Her splayed-out arms made it look as if she were tied to a cross instead of the bed. An image of how Jesus must have looked at the crucifixion flashed through his mind and the room began to spin.
âAre you all right?â the nurse asked turning to him.
Tyler took a deep breath and nodded. âYeah, I just wasnât expecting to see her like that. Is she okay?â
âItâs to keep her from tugging on the curtain or bumping the doctors while they work. Women think they would keep calm but a C-section isnât a walk in the park.â
Tyler nodded and continued into the room. They had placed a chair for him beside Laneyâs head and he grabbed her hand as he sat, glad he couldnât see the actual surgery from this angle. He was not squeamish about most things but watching your wife get cut open might do it.
âOkay, we are ready to begin.â
âAll right,â Laney said after a deep breath.
âI have to say, you are the calmest person in this situation I have ever seen,â the anesthesiologist said.
Laney turned to look at him. âWhat good would it do to get worked up? I have no control. God is in control of this situation.â
Tyler smiled and squeezed her hand. Even in a challenging situation, her strong character shone through. Her grip on his hand tightened and her face scrunched. Was she in pain? Hadnât they given her some numbing agent?
âAre you okay?â he asked.
âYeah, I think so. It doesnât hurt exactly, but it feels like someone is tugging out my insides out.â Her eyes squeezed shut. Tyler wished he could take away the pain or whatever she was feeling but he was helpless. All he could do was watch and pray.
Suddenly the cry of a newborn filled the air and Tyler nearly jumped to his feet.
âItâs a boy,â the doctor Dr. Johnson said and held him up over the curtain for Laney and Tyler to see. âHe looks healthy but since heâs so early we want to take him in for monitoring. Dad, if you want to go with the nurse you can.
