Surgery was a success...

Last Wednesday the kids had their Tonsils & Adenoids removed.
We were at the Hospital at 7 am. The out patient surgery area was great & the kids weren't nervous at all. Once we were in the back the kids changed in to Jammie's & booties (with grippers), they also picked out a new stuffed friend to keep with them & to take home. Then their (kids & stuffed) vitals were taken & the questions were answered. The kids were then asked how the wanted to ride back to surgery; wheel chair or wagon. Emmersyn said wheel chair & Bryceton chose the wagon. Since both of their surgeries were preformed by the same surgeon. Bryceton went back first. They put him to sleep then put in the IV. The Dr came in & let us know he was in recovery & everything went great. within the next 1/2 hour Emmersyn was being wheeled back to start the process. Bryceton was carried back to up about 40 minutes after he got wheeled away, he didn't waste anytime on starting on a Popsicle. He was a little out of it & sore but he was a trooper. Next came Emmersyn she was a little more groggy but still doing great. We hung out in out patient until almost 1 pm. Both kids were eating Popsicles, drinking & doing great. Once we were home I had to get their prescriptions filled so I took off to do that. When I got home Bryceton was just waking up from a nap. He woke up having trouble breathing, coughing up blood & just plan freaking out. We called the ENT's office & he told us to take him to Blank Children's ER. Thankfully Matt's dad had stopped by to check on the kids & he was willing to watch Emmersyn (who was having her second bowl of ice cream & watching a movie) while we headed to the ER. Once at the ER Bryceton was given another IV (this time he was awake), he was given a breathing treatment & ended up getting sick all over me (the joys of being a mom). Bryceton of course was very upset & scared of all the commotion. Once everything was in place & the medications were in he settled down, with that said our reg pediatrician, the ENT & the ER Dr had all spoken & decided that the medication for the swelling needs to be given & that can only be done at the hospital. So admitted he was. This also was a way to make sure he wasn't going to get dehydrated with the IV. Matt, Bryceton & I all hung out in his room at Blank, then Matt headed to my Parents house to spend some time with Emmersyn since they picked her up after work. She was still doing great she just wasted mommy or daddy. Matt was back to the hospital for the morning visit from our pediatrician (at 8 am). Bryceton was doing much better, he had gotten his color back & was eating more of the pudding & yogurt. Bryceton was able to be taken off the IV around 8:30 am, but then we had to sit around until 10:30 am for observation, making sure he would eat & drink plenty on his own. We were discharged at 11:00 am on Thursday & were home around 11:20 am.
Man it was good to get Bryceton home. Emmersyn was glad we all were home too.
