Post Op

We arrived at Baptist hospital at 6 am September 12th, checked in and then nervously waited to be called back. Once we got in the OR prep room things happened pretty rapidly, doctors were waiting on us. Like seriously when does that EVER happen? Like never but hey, I'll accept it. Adalynne got her own little baby hospital gown and even little hospital socks (yes they even had teeny little skid resistance grippes on the bottom.) Cause ya know, all these 2 month olds running around sliding all over the hospital need them. Back to the hospital gown for a second. Most of you that know about my grandmother I lost and know about her love of elephants that we share.  She unexpectedly passed a few years ago and my heart has never been the same. Going through this without her here is so hard but I always find peace in knowing once Adalynne goes my grandma will take care of her. Well, Adalynnes gown had pink little elephants and dinosaurs all over it. She always gives us a sign she is with us (and Ian has a massive love of dinosaurs.) So, I took my signs as a good thing and calmed a wee bit. Her surgery started at 7:30 and only lasted a little over an hour. Once she was out of recovery she was put into the PICU.  She had a seizure after she was put into the room and they placed a nose trumpet in to open her airway.  She has had multiple seizures and breathing issues since we have been here.  I've learned that she has been having a whole lot more seizures at home that I didn't recognize to be a seizure. So that's a little upsetting to know that she has not only had more seizures but, they happen multiple times a day. As of right now she has been taken off the IV morphine and been getting her normal oral solution that we have at home. She did eat 3 oz finally, not out of a bottle but back to the feeding syringe we use to use. She is being transferred to the intermediate care unit which is good news and a step down from intensive. Hopefully we will get to go home tomorrow! Until next time my sweet souls, love you all!! 

***FORWARNING*** there is a picture of her incision just so the weak stomached can be prepared. 

Thanks grandma, love you
