Surgery
Today my youngest son had surgery. So it’s been a loooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggg day for all of us. I got up a little after 5 and got ready and then just snatched him out of his crib and took off last minute to get to the hospital by 6. Not to mention that I couldn’t fall asleep until almost 1 last night, then as soon as I dozed little man woke up so I went to him and then had a hard time getting back to sleep. So short night and long day makes for a very tired Momma.
Things moved pretty quickly once we got checked in. I was honestly surprised at that to tell the truth. Last time when K had this done they had us check in at like 5 a.m. and he was supposed to ahve surgery at like 7 but it got pushed back until just before 8. Very hard to keep a cranky, tired, and starving 18 month old entertained for that length of time. But today I checked in at 6, got taken back a few minutes later and we were on our way to surgery prep. The nurses came in, the anesthesiologist came and talked to me (he was awesome and did a great job telling me things) and then the surgeon talked to me, a whole bunch of people were in and out of that room. Just before 7 I got all suited up in a snazzy paper white jumpsuit, blue hair bonnet thingy, blue shoe covers and then a face mask. I tell ya, I was styling! lol So much so that J couldn’t take his eyes off of me, he must have thought I looked like an alien.
At 7 they escorted the two of us back to the OR where about a half dozen other people were standing awaiting our arrival. They got J all set on the operating table, I helped hold him down and talked to him until he went to sleep. Didn’t take very long for him to go out. I was glad to see that, with K he fought so hard for so long that it made it super hard on me to hold him down and watch that. When J was out then they took me back to the room to get out of my sterile suit. When I was all undressed I went out to the waiting room to wait. I don’t like sitting in small rooms and waiting so I figured it would be better out there. I wasn’t out there long when the surgeon came out to tell me at 7:15 that J was done and in recovery
I’m happy to hear that things went so smoothly for you this time! I hope little K is recovering well and you’re getting some much needed sleep.
