Today was the big day. We got to the hospital bright and early at 7:30am and they took her to surgery at 8:30am. At 9:00 we saw the dr and he said the procedure went very well, and in a few minutes they would let us go back to see her. As soon as I opened the door to go to post op I could hear her crying. Her eyes were not even open yet and she was not very happy, they had just given her morphine. She cried and cried and spoke very little to us. We tried to get her to drink and eat a popsicle but no luck. The nurse came back and suggested we take her to a private room to recover. She said something about the other children bothering her but I think it may have been her bothering the other children. At 10:00 she was still crying and the nurse gave her Tylenol with codeine. At about 10:30 she fell asleep and woke up at 11:00. She finally spoke to us legibly. She drank some juice and the nurse took her iv out (by the way she never even cared that the IV was in her hand, all the talk about it worked!) And we were home around noon. She is still in a lot of pain, her mouth and nose hurts a lot. Poor thing.
She has sure enjoyed the attention though. She has eaten 8 popsicles, and some yogurt. Won't each much else because it hurts (I am thinking this is because she had a breathing tube). She loves the balloons from her sisters, a doll (named doll) from Uwa (Oliva), and a big Minnie Mouse. Not only that, her birthday outfit came and she LOVES IT!!!! But I wont show pictures of that just yet. I will just say its very Tabitha.
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. I know T will have a speedy recovery.
I really hope this does the trick.
These pictures were taken before she went to surgery. She wasn't happy and asked if we could go home. She really did not like the socks they gave her or the hospital bracelets they put on her leg. She didn't mind the gown though but it was a little too big.
We just got her to sleep here. Her little face is swollen. She finally got chubby cheeks! Even if they only lasted a little while.
This picture was taken just before we went home. This is pretty much the look on her face all day.
