I didn't even cry!
I cannot tell you how absolutely impressed I am with Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital. Despite having to get up at the crack of dawn to take our baby to have a surgical procedure, it was a very pleasant experience from the standpoint of care. I was so happy to see that the facilities were so nice and state of the art. Every one from the surgeon to the check-in person was simply spectacular. I have always been a supporter of the hospital donating money or participating in fund raisers whenever I could and now I know first hand that the effort and money is well spent. I hope I never have to go back there but if I do, I will know that we are in great hands. I could not be more pleased with how well our little Buggins did. She was VERY hungry by the time they took her away at 8am. She did not like having her blood pressure taken as I think she is starting to think it is a precursor to a shot but for the most part, she was a champ. She even learned what a frog says because there was a picture of a frog on the wall and I asked her what a frog says and even though she was crying at the time, she said 'Wibbit, wibbit'. I just melted. She was so cute. She is learning so much and adding words every day to her vocabulary. People can't believe how smart she is for her age. I constantly stay in a state of awe at what a wonderful child we have.
Dr. Reed said that she had quite a bit of fluid and he sucked out a lot of 'butter' as he called it. He said her hearing should improve greatly although we never noticed that she was lacking in that area at all. When I got home with her, she and I passed out for a few hours only to wake up feeling like I had been run over by a truck. I am on my way back to the doctor tomorrow to try to get rid of the crud and get our family back in to the swing of things before Christmas. Thanks to everyone who called or text me checking in on her. We felt the love and prayers around us each and every minute we were there. We are so very, very blessed to have the Lord looking over us and giving us the gifts He gives us each and every day. One of the best parts about today...Mama didn't even cry!
