It took FOREVER for them to take her back this morning. There is a rule about getting the youngest patients in first, since it's harder for them to go too long without food. But for some reason they took this other little girl back before Daphne. She was probably 6 or so, and one of the whiniest kids I've ever seen. She spent about an hour screaming bloody murder as the nurses tried to get her IV put in, which meant Daphne had to wait a very long time for her turn.
Daph was none too happy about being forced to wait, but once she did get called back they gave her a lovely dose of something wonderful that made her nice and relaxed.
She went from making this face...
...to this face...
...very quickly.
Then she got so tired that her head just flopped over onto the vibrating, light-up toy that they gave her to play with. That was so funny.
Thank you, Cindy, for your tip about staying with her until she went to sleep. The first time she had surgery they didn't even offer us that option, but today they told us that's what they would have us do. No stranger danger issues! Hopefully we can continue to do that.
Watching her wake up always provides a good laugh or two. I felt badly for her because I knew she was confused on why she felt weird. She was so loopy, but wanted to be free to play. Hard to do when you can't even hold your head up.
She was back to her old self by the time we got home.
Thanks for praying for her today! She was a little trooper, and everything went perfectly. We'll have a follow-up appointment with her doctor soon to decide when her foot surgeries will be.

So thankful things went well! Poor little drugged Daphne, she looks so pathetic :0) Glad she recovers fast from the anesthesia.
Poor Daphers! She doesn't look like she enjoys being drugged! Will they tell you soon what they saw in the MRI? Or just wait for the follow-up when they decide when to have surgery? Hope she sleeps all night!
I'm thankful Daphne did so well today!
