Well, we are home from surgery. What a crazy day. We got up this morning around 5:45 because we had to leave our house at 6:30am to make it to the hospital by 7. When we arrived we had to do a lot of paperwork and get her all signed in for surgery. Then they called us back into pre-op where we met every doctor and nurse who would be present during Presley's surgery. While they checked her vitals and got her all ready for surgery they put on a Baby Einstein video for her. It was so wonderful. All she wanted was to talk to the birds, monkies, and tigers on the screen. When it was time for her to be taken back into surgery the Dr came to pick her up and I was worried that she wouldn't go, but no! She almost jumped in his arms. I will have to say that watching them walk through the door with her and see her disappear behind the glass was a horrible feeling. The 45 min wait til they called us was the longest 45 minutes. I just kept wondering how scared she must be. However, Dallas kept reminding me she was ok! Sure enough she was. at 9:15 we got called back to recovery. She was on her little hospital bed crying with disorientation. They let Dallas pick her up and help carry her to me. I held her in the recliner for an hour as they monitored her. She was pretty cranky when we put her in the car and when we got her home. She would try and walk and then just fall to the ground. So, I picked her up to keep her from falling and hurting herself and man she did NOT like that. She threw a fit unlike one I have ever seen. I know it was the medicine and being in pain. Poor baby. I finally got her to calm down when Ben(our doggie) came by and sat down next to her so she could pet him. He proceeded to lay there and lick her face to which she sighed with huge sighs of relief! It was the sweetest thing! I finally got her to sleep and resting for a little while!!
Thanks so much for all of your prayers and concerns for us over the last few days. It went well and now we just have to watch her recovery!! We got some pictures of her in her gown, some pics of the spot after Dr. Chen marked it and some of us in recovery.
