surgery day

The surgery center called me the day before. "Be here at 6:30". I didn't think I heard them right. 6:30? I had to wake my child up early and keep her entertained until 9, keeping in mind that it would be 12 hours since she last ate. Oh, I was not looking forward to it. Turned out I had nothing to worry about. I brought plenty of entertainment.

We read some books.
And played with spoons.
They gave Morgan some really cool socks, super star shades and a pinwheel. My favorite was the ankle bracelet.
Around 8:30 she got a little antsy and just wanted to crawl. Daddy saved the day when he showed up. Right after this the nurse came to get her. I know it's a quick and really easy procedure, but she's still my baby. And when I handed her over my heart beat fast and I was nervous for her. I paced around for 10 minutes and then she was back. She was completely out. They hooked her up to the machines to check her vitals and gave her some clean air to wake her up. She didn't completely wake up until the nurse pulled the sticky things off her chest. Evidently they don't like that.
Morgan was a little disoriented and agitated for about 10 minutes. Once she calmed down she ate a bottle and was back to her normal self. Everyone was commenting about how happy she was. And then we were on our way.

Lounging in the chair before we left.
She slept for a couple hours when we got home and woke up like nothing ever happen. We have to put drops in her ears until tomorrow and then she is good to go. We go back in two weeks for a check up. I'm really hoping we don't have to deal with ear infections again.
