This is Katie after we first checked in to the hospital and got her hospital jammies on. She was so excited because she was being allowed to have her binky. At home, she only has it to sleep. She was very pleasant and calm all morning as we waited to go into surgery. We gave her a drug called versaid, which makes her very out of it but not asleep, right before they took her off to surgery so that she wouldn't freak out as they took her away from us. she was in surgery for 4.5 hours. It actually went by pretty fast. There were a lot of people in the waiting room that were very interesting.
Here is her incision. The little tube coming out of it is called a stent and is too drain urine out of her body. It will be left in for two weeks.
This was taken when I was allowed to be with her in recovery. It was so good to see her and be able to kiss her sweet face!
It took her a while to wake up and when she did, she wasn't very happy. She cried about everything. When her binky dropped on the floor, she cried like someone died. Tears streaming down her face and loud sobs. She had a horrible night! She cried a lot and would only sleep if I was holding her. So, I sat in a rocking chair and held her most of the night. In the morning, they switched her from morphine to lortab and she did much better. She slept for 3 hours.
When she woke up, she got out of her bed and was walking around. She was talking and playing. It was great! She wanted some chicken and fries so we got that for her and took her for a ride to the cafeteria so we could eat lunch together.
She was thrilled when we took her to the playroom! She immediately found the babies and started playing with them. She had a great time. Since she kept her lunch down and was up and playing, they decided she could go home. We were really surprised that she only had to stay in the hospital for one night!
When we got home, she saw some salad in the fridge and she wanted it. She was shoveling it into her mouth as fast as she could. She showed it to grandma and said "Look at this salad Grandma, it's cute!" Everyone laughed and we were all happy to have our cute little Katie home!
