Tuesday afternoon we headed to Primary Childrens and checked Kennedy in for her surgery
She couldnt eat anything but clear fluids after midnight and no fluids after 1030 am
She had some jello for breakfast and sprite
It was her surgery treat
She was starving by the time we got there
We were pretty nervous but Kennedy wasnt
Before we left we went over to Janas parents and Roy and his friend gave Kennedy a blessing
We told her she was going to get one and she replied " Why? Its not like Im going to die or anything"
Grandma JaNeale and Joe met us there
Grandma JaNeale brought Kennedy the new Brave doll
We changed her into her surgery clothes and socks
The nurses were surprised about how much Kennedy could tell them about what she was having done
She had no questions and informed them of what they were going to do
We went from the first waiting room to another waiting room, met with the anesthesiologist, the surgeon, and a few nurses
Her and Daddy Chris played tea set for quite a while
My mom also showed up
The anesthesiologist came out, took Kennedy for a ride in the wagon and thats the last we saw her for almost 2 hours
I was kind of a nervous mess
They wheeled her back before she had any drugs and she started crying for me and was scared because she was going off with some stranger
I kept watching for her to escape from the room and she didnt
Mom, Chris, JaNeale and I headed to the lunch room to get something to eat and not just watch the clock
Her surgery lasted almost 2 hours from the time they took her back
After about another 30 minutes after that I was allowed to go back to recovery to see her
They only allowed one person back there
Peanut woke up in pain
They said she did awesome during the surgery and that they got everything fixed
She threw up some when she first woke up but was doing ok
The morphine was wearing off and she was crying
Momma cuddled with her some and tried to make her comfortable
Then they wheeled her off to the recovery room where two people were allowed in at once
They gave her a rootbeer slushy to try and help her throat from being intubated
She got to lay there and watch cartoon
She was in pain so they gave her some loritab
We had to stay there for an hour after they gave her loritab and then it was time to go home
She was wheeled out in a wagon
Momma and Daddy Chris
Grandma JaNeale
Kennedy and her Dad
We headed home
I sat in the back seat with peanut and she puked the entire way home
Root beer puke yuck!
This was her 4 hours after surgery!
She was doing very well!
Thank you to everyone who sent us well wishes and concerns!
Thank you for all the visits and presents!
Kennedy appreciated it so much and so did we!
