Carissa and I were up early early early this morning in order to get to the surgery center by 7 am. Carissa got her tonsils and adnoids out this morning. What a great trooper. My heart was nearly wrenched out of my body though, having to try to calm her while she was crying for daddy and crying, "I don't want to be here, I want to go home".... She was not impressed with the hospital jammies and called them scratchy. When it came down to being "TIME to go" back to the OR the nurse took her and she was SO distraught. I had to stand there a minute and dry my eyes before leaving the pre-op curtained area. The nurses were so very kind and reassuring and told me that most momma's cry.... but it sure didn't make it any easier knowing that she was taken from me, scared and not knowing WHAT in the world was going on. I'm so glad it's OVER and we can not do that again!
Here we are this morning before we left the house.... She got a new doggie this morning so she'll stop stealing her brother's to play with! LOL
