After a long day yesterday, Mia sleep good thru the night. First thing she wanted when she wrote up was a bath to get her hair cleaned. After a couple times yesterday of trying to over do it, she got dizzy and felt sick to her stomach. She is slowly moving around taking it easy so far. It's so nice to she her smiling and awake today.
Today's plan is to take it easy and relax. She loves crafts and is working on a scrapbook she got from Aunt Binner.
Is been a long day and we are finally on our journey home. Mia is nestled in her seat and resting with her many animals and blankets. This was her first surgery that they put a nauseas patch to help her from throwing up from the anesthesia. Worked pretty good but it has made her very tired, which is good cause she has been thru allot. Looking towards a calm evening.
Mia seemed alittle scared when she woke up as I came into recovery room. I told her I was there and a few tears flowed from her eye.
This is probably the most emotional surgery for me to go thru with her. I think because she is getting older and more aware of what is happening. She has questions here and there, which I love but it's the answers I don't have I worry about.
For right now you she is in alittle pain with all the injections she has on her forehead, cheek and eye brow. Plus the fun tube they always put in your airway during surgery. Mia opens her eyes from time to time.... Get some rest my princess!
Just got word that surgery has finished and the Dr will be out to see us in 30 minutes. Glad to hear she is done but more waiting.
We've let Mia choose who she wants to come back into recovery since only one person gets to come back. This surgery she chose me so I'm really anxious to get to be with her.
Mia is in surgery now. Right before we were saying goodbye she started get really nervous and telling me what she was scared about. Her concerns were the iv and having her blood taken. I tried to console her and explain how that she would be asleep for all of it but when she wakes up she will have the iv in her hand. Mia started tearing up alittle but after and hug and kiss she was ready.
Now we get to sit and wait... We always dread this part.
Mia is alittle nervous this morning. We've already met the Dr and going thru all the forms for surgery. Mia is very up beat and all smiles thou. It's still amazing how strong she is with going thru all of this.
Just got the call today... September 15 is the date. They will be doing more injections to Mia's forehead. She is alittle nervous about it and upset that she is going to miss a day or two of school.
School is going well, this is her third week of 4th grade. Mia is pretty excited about it so far. One of her favorite things is reading. At bed time she will read until she falls asleep... Doesn't help when we forget to go into her room and remind her she has read for 30 minutes.
