Surgery

Here are a few pictures from Ryan's surgery day. She did REALLY well considering she didn't eat for over 12 hours. She was kind of cranky, but come on...she isn't even two yet.

She played with all of the stuff around the room. She kept her gown on for a little bit and then decided to take it off.

The surgery went fairly quick (the whole day did for me...how weird). When I went back after the surgery, she was waking up and not happy. So I got into the bed with her and tried to calm her down. She did a little, but we figured she was in pain so the nurse gave her some pain meds. Well, that knocked her out completely. The resp therapist was in there for quite some time listening to her breathe. They weren't to happy with the oxygen levels while she was sleeping, so we tried to make her mad and get her to cough. She woke up a bit, but again was out. So a few hours had passed, (I am guessing b/c when it was 2:15 I thought it was 11) and then we tried cleaning her nose out with saline and suction air. Well that did it.

She woke up after that and coughed a little and was doing better. So we moved to one of the pre-op areas so my mom, dad and step mom could come in and visit.

After that she got a low grade fever, so they wanted to watch her. After all of this, she passed out again. At this point we were ready to go b/c we got the go ahead that everything was ok. Once she woke up and had jello, she coughed and moved some of that stuff in her throat around.

We left around 4 in the after (after the surgery being around 10) and went home.

Ryan slept a good 2 hours and was back in bed by 8pm. She did great.

However, Monday came along and we thought that she has been more brabby than normal even after a surgery. What do ya know it??? An ear infection. But that didn't surprise us b/c it was so bad when they went in.

PS~ Dr Chamblee is the BEST ENT. She is the nicest, sweetest, best Dr ever. I recommend her if anyone has to go to an ENT.


All in all, Ryan is doing great. She is on meds and we hope it clears soon.
