She made it through surgery.


My sweet baby had to have "dental reconstruction" done at Primary Children's hospital yesterday. It was an outpatient surgery

They let the kids ride around in little wagons. They gave her some medicine that made her drowsy so she couldn't really walk.

What a trooper, she did so well. After it was all over with she kept telling us that her finger hurt. Then she would point to her whole arm. She was referring to the IV that was in her hand.

Everyone at the hospital were great, the nurses and the doctors. But I have a love/hate relationship with that place. It holds some good memories and a lot of bad ones. My nephew was up there for 3 months before passing away, and my little boy was up there for 3 days after he was born. It tends to give me some anxiety when I know I have to go up there. I am sure a lot of you can relate :)

I am glad it went well! I'm sure it was a rough day for everyone. I was thinking about you yesterday!

I used to work there. It's an amazing place...but I can't imagine having your child be a patient. I bet it's hard. Why did she need the dental surgery? I'm glad she's doing well. :)

I understand that relationship. I'm glad everything turned out well and hopefully the only reason you ever had to go back is to enjoy the great salad bar. :-) Love ya.

Yea!!!! it's over, now hopefully no more cavities for her or any of your kids. You've been lucky this is the first cavity!! Count your blessings right?

I think the wagon makes the day just a little better. She looks like she came though great. You look like you might have made it to. I think its just a hard for the mom as the kids.
