Yawn!
This was just before 7 am. Waiting for the nurse who would check her vitals...before we had to spend time in the first waiting room.
Sasha's deflux and cystoscopy procedure was scheduled for 8:15 and we had to be there 1 1/2 hours before...so an early start with all of us up before 5:30! Usually at that time when Sasha wakes we just pull her into bed with us for a snuggle before the real wake up time ;)
She was remarkably patient in the waiting room for someone who hadn't eaten since the night before , so she was tired and hungry. Lots of positive distractions helped pass the time for her such as stories with Granma (see pic below) and a nice volunteer blowing bubbles for the kids had them all entertained for ages...oh the magic of bubbles!
Then the hard part...letting the nurse take her away! Yes...I got weepy. Then we took a deep breath and decided hanging in the new waiting room for the whole 45 minutes was not tolerable (I've no idea how you wait through hours of waiting...heart ached with less than an hour to contend with!) So we got a coffee and muffins...much needed by almost 9 am!
She came out of it all just fine of course. Our strong little girl was ready to crawl out of there in no time...when she wasn't shaking off her grogginess. A bit out of sorts through the day, but the smiles are back and all seems well. And we were home well before noon which was nice!
She's been on mostly fluids today, but tomorrow will be back on her regular meals.
And if she heals well, the urologist has told us she can go off the anti-biotics after her follow up in about 6 weeks. Early May is just after her 1st birthday and when she will finally be drug free again...
So for now, when it comes to her kidneys and reflux - no news is good news...and I'll let you know when there's something to know :)
wake up...time to go home baby :)
