Railee's Surgery!

This morning we dropped Bryn off at my parents and headed over to the hospital! The day finally came.... the day that Rae got her tonsils and adenoids out!! She was so full of joy as we went up the alligator (elevator) as she gets to push all the buttons. We got to the surgical center and rae loved talking to all the nurses. They laughed and said they loved her "spunky attitude" We then got sent back to our room where she put on her "doctor costume" scrubs and warm socks and hair net. We were the second ones to go back, there was a baby that needed tubes in his ears/ they told us that it would be about 20 minutes then they would come get us ready to get things rolling!! Time flew by it seemed like and they came in for us to sign papers and talk about the anesthesia. We got to walk a few steps and then said our SHORT,SAD,GOODBYES! She was screaming for me as they took her away from me! I wanted to cry but I new it had to be done. I know this sounds so dumb but it really happened.... I could hear the clock ticking tick,tock, tick, tock! I swear it was the loudest. slowest thing to listen to! Time was so slow but so fast at the same time. The surgery lasted all but a half hour. They woke her up and they said that she just cried for me. They wheeled her into us and she grabbed onto me so hard. Dr. kieser came in and said everything went perfect. We were so glad to have her in our arms again and know everything went great. They wanted to keep her for a couple hours to make sure everything was stable. She kept beeping (hate that sound reminded me of my poor nicu baby) telling us that her oxygen levels were low! Scared me but things got better! The first thing she wanted was ice. She wanted to eat so fast it was so hard to tell her to slow down. Then they wanted to have her eat some ice cream about an hour in the recovery room. rae was a champ and ate the whole thing the nurse was surprised. She kept dosing on and off. I held her in the rocking chair the whole time and Rae was relaxed because she knew she was safe. She would cry every once in a while wanting to take out her iv and to take the sock that was wrapped up off! Then it was time to get discharged and we were so happy! rae got her pj's back on and we gave her a present for being so brave. She got three new books, juice, and a new sippy. They wanted rae to walk around so we walked over to a basket with stickers! She picked a tinkerbell sticker of course. Then the nurse asked her if she wanted to ride in a red wagon to our car! She was so EXCITED! We put a blanket and a pillow in her red wagon and headed to the elevator! The nurses told me that she was the cutest kid they have seen in there as she waved and said her cute "Bye" She would wave like a little princess as she was escorted in her little carriage lol we went out to the car and she gave her nurse a hug and said thank you for taking care of her. It was so cut! We really got treated well and would recommend this dr. to everyone! We then headed to Walmart to get her prescription and she wanted a ball and a project! Then we went home and she passed out and I got to lay down for a little bit while Seth did the dishes and mopped the floor! (LOVE HIM) Tonight we had her favorite visitors. First came auntie! She brought Rae applesauce, pudding, and jello! Then came gaga with dinner and homemade noodle soup and rolls for Miss rae! She requested gag;s noodles before she went in to the Dr.'s! Then Grandma Judy came over and brought her a get well balloon and a pink and green one! (I let bryn have the green one tied it up to a toy so it was at her level and she had a blast with it) And she brought her a whole bag of Popsicles! At this time Rae was in alot of pain and was dosing off with Grandma! Everyone lest we gave her another dose of lortab and she took another cat nap. Later gaga came home with Bryn! I want to thank my parents for watching her since early this morning and all night! And they brought us dinner and brought Rae noodle soup! You guys are really the best and we are so grateful for you both! update later this evening.... Rae starts to get in alot of pain about an hour until her next dose! She has been very whiny but I love her and so I take it! I now she is in a huge amount of pain and wish I could take all her pain so she wouldnt hurt! We are hoping for a good night, or should I say I am and we will keep updated throughout the next while! Thank you to everyone's thoughts and prayers they helped ALOT! We love you Rae and hope that this surgery will only make you healthier and happier and help you breath lie a little girl should! We love our tough, brave girl!!!
