We cannot be more grateful for how the surgery went!! We checked in at 8:30am and the surgery took place at 9:30am. The doctor came out within the hour and said that he was so glad that she was having this procedure done because the adenoids and tonsils were taking up a lot of space. And then about a half an hour after we talked to the doctor Kacie started to wake up.
She was very upset and disoriented. She really wanted her IV out of her hand, she kept saying that it was hurting her. Grandma Jan found the nurse and she checked it and it was fine. Kacie would not settle down so the nurse gave her a little dose of morphine to help her get back to sleep. That was what she needed. When she woke up after taking the morphine she was able to tolerate what was going on.
The rest of the day we watched cartoons, ate popsicles and did lots of snuggling. Finally at 6pm they decided it would be OK for us to take Kacie home. Yes, it was a long day! However, we are so glad to know that this will benefit her so much...last night she slept more peaceful than she has in months!!
Thank you God for taking care of the details of it all and for family and friends who love us and pray for us!!
