So I dragged myself and then her out of bed at 5:00 a.m. in order to get her to St. Mary's Hospital by 6:00 a.m. But on the way I had to stop at Big B coffee to get my much needed A.M. coffee jump start!!!
After checking in we had to Wait in the waiting room for about 10 minutes.
Then they brought us back to Kyla's room, where she changed into her lovely surgical gown
Then she met Theresa one of the nurses who would be taking care of her before and after surgery.
Getting ready to take her vitals and putting on the heart monitors.
Dr. Burdo is one of only 2 dentist I understand in the state of Michigan that dose dental work for special needs patients under general anesthesia. We were very lucky to find him, he is a very kind and gentle man who has true empathy for his patients, because he has an autistic son, and truly understands what we have to deal with in these situations.
Kyla did not like his guy, or should I say she did not like what he was going to do to her.
He was very good with her and almost had her convinced to let him do the I.V. , But in the end her fears won that battle.
so they ended putting her I.V. in her arm after they put her to sleep in the operating room.
Kyla putting on a brave face!!!!!
And were off......Throwing the stuffed animal they gave her at me in protest as they wheeled her out of her room.
POST OP... Still asleep. She had kind of a hard time after she woke up. having too much to drink via the I.V. bag she woke up needing to go potty badly, and wanting her I.V. out. so they took her I.V. out and we got her to the bathroom, and that was when she started tossing her cookies. NOT ANY FUN.....
Still tossing those cookies, but wanting out of there. She was NOT HAPPY that mom was taking pictures of her.
Still not a happy camper, we got in the van to go home and she tossed her cookies 2 more times on the was home. She slept for the rest of the day for the most part, and then the whole night.
We are all glad that day is over!!
