Before surgery! She had no idea what was coming. Of course, Grandma had to come with us! And boy am I glad she did!
The hospital staff was so great! She missed a little class they have for kids going into surgery, so they rounded up someone to give her her own class! They have the kids draw a face on a doll they get to keep, then they have real hospital equipment they can touch and use on their doll and they explain what's going to happen and what each thing is used for. It was so cool!
They even made a hospital bracelet for "Lely" and let her take her into surgery with her!
All drugged up and ready for the operating room! It's great how they transport kids in wagons instead of beds or wheelchairs. They even have tiles on the ceiling painted and the Anesthesiologist pointed out pictures in the hall on the way. By the time we got to the doors of the O/R she was so out of it, she didn't know what was going on! I was glad for that.
Waiting for her to come out of surgery...even Grandma was playing the DS!!! I had to get a picture of that!

Well she's just the cutest little patient ever!!! I'm glad the surgery went well and she is breathing so much better. That not breathing stuff sounds scary! I hope she has a speedy recovery. In the meantime, let her eat as many popsicles as she wants. Hey, now I want a popsicle!
What did she have surgery for? I hope that she is doing ok.
