Surgery Day

8:00am, arrive at the surgery center. 8:15, Savannah is registered. 9:15 Savannah gets her "silly juice". 9:45, Dr. D. comes in and asks Savannah if she is drunk yet. She giggles (the silly juice working) and he asks her how many hands he is holding up. Savannah says 5 and the surgery will go as scheduled. She said her goodbyes to Mommy and Daddy and away goes our brave little solider. 10:45. we see her in recovery, crying. Our hearts are broken. We have to be the meanest most awful parents alive. We don't deserve her. What kind of parents takes a perfectly healthy, tan, happy little girl and make her suffer like this? I told her she would be in my arms when she wakes up, but they woke her up before I came in. Mommy had not kept her promise, and what was this pain? Mommy didn't tell her about that part! Mommy just said she would wake up as quick as she fell asleep, then soon she would sleep well at night, no more sleep walking, waking up 5 times a night or kicking mommy in the back in the middle of the night. Mommy bad. Mommy mean. Well at least I didn't break a window! hahaha (insider joke, I guess!)

Mean mommy aside, Savannah is doing quite well. She is all doped up and has been asking for SunDrop Sherbet. She got her sherbet and a whole lot more pain meds. I think the only thing she would be hating in the next few days, is no swimming or strenuous playing. This might be the end of her. She told me that she thinks she will never scream again. I think this might be a good thing. Oh here comes mean mommy again.

We got pictures of her on the silly juice, but they are on Jerry's phone and we will have to upload them later.

Hope everything is going well for everyone!
