Surgery Day Part 2

This morning I took Samantha to Children's Hospital for the second part of her surgery. She had to have the stint taken out that they had put in during the first surgery. We had to be there by 10 for her surgery at noon, but it ended up getting pushed back until 1:15 PM.

Jeff had to work, my mom was out of town so that just left Libby and I to take Samantha. Samantha loved the little beads on Mawmaw's skirt.

At 12:40 PM they came in and gave her some medicine to keep her from getting so upset when they would have to take her away from me. Then she discovered the tray under her bed and couldn't be pulled away from the allure of this new play area.

Once she got back to the post-op room she was really excited to see me but was even more excited to get something to drink. Since the last time she had something to drink was 5 AM she was more than ready to guzzle down some pedilyte. She loved putting her face mask on Mawmaw's face!

Within the next month or so I will have to take Samantha back for some testing to make sure that both of the surgeries have done what they needed to do. And if all goes well this whole kidney / ureter nightmare will be over.
