Here she is before surgery -- really tearing up the place! She loved the little car that she could walk around in & had to investigate every toy in the place. She did so well!! When it was time to go back, she gave us kisses & off she went!! (She did better than we did!)
After surgery, I got called up to be with her in the first recovery room -- when I got there, she had blood smeared all over her face & arms -- I thought she had coughed up blood, or had started bleeding from the surgery......no, it wasn't that at all. She had pulled her IV out already! And unfortunately, she had pulled it out before they could give her a dose of pain meds (other than what was used in the surgery room).
She really never calmed down much in the first recovery room. We finally got moved to the other one, where they could give her some oral pain meds & where Daddy could join us. About 20 minutes after taking the oral meds, she started to calm down. Here she even let us put the ice back on her neck.
Then she decided her head hurt worse than her neck!
With her history of the valve problem -- the doctor wanted her to drink 8 ounces before she could go home. It took a couple of hours, but she finally got a good 6 ounces down & we all called it good!
In the mean time, she had decided that she wanted to see Kylee!! She began talking about telling Kylee she had an ouch & that she was sick.
We had quite a few commical moments as we were trying to encourage her to drink her milk & she wanted us to know that she had an "ouw" & that she was sick.
The nap didn't last long -- she slept most of the way home, and then was ready to see Kylee!! She ate a little sherbert & stood by the door waiting for her girl to get here!!
