Surgery Day

The day we didn't want to have happen.  Here are the posts I put up on Facebook.

11:30 am

Ok so Grace is in surgery already. We got a call that the doctor was early and the schedule had been switched around. What a blessing. I have to say it wasn't just coincidence with how our morning went. She had a rule that the last time she can have water is 8 am. So I didn't get out of bed until 7:30 am just because I was being lazy. But then I got the phone call..."Has Grace eaten or had a drink at all?" I was able to say no and so I was told to bring her in at 10:30 am. So I got up and gave her a bath and I was going to take a shower but just had a feeling that I shouldn't take a shower. So I just washed my hair and RIGHT when I finished and had towel dried my hair, I got a phone call saying to come right then. It was 9:40 am. Awesome! Blessings for sure. And all throughout the nurses and doctor coming in she was happy as a clam, and she walked away with the nurse without a problem. I don't walk back with her since I'm Miss Crybaby. So now I sit and wait for the news. It should take about an hour. Oh, and she chose watermelon gas to put her out and she will be having a breathing tube for this surgery.

12:55

Grace is out of surgery. I love her doctor because he comes out and talks to me instead of sending a nurse or just calling to say we can go back. Everything went great and I get to go see her soon. Now comes recovery, hopefully no nausea/vomiting, she'll wear arm braces for a week to keep her from itching, and drops 3x a day for a week.

 

 

 I love you sweet girl.  I'm sorry you have to go through all this.
