I think she was the HAPPIEST little girl in the hospital that day. She was so funny!
Here she is waiting to go into the pre-op room......
Here we are in pre-op. They were running behind so we sat there for like 2 and half hours. They kept her entertained though....They had her pretend like she was a doctor and they gave her this doll to color on and then she got to give it shots, IVs, and all kind of stuff.
When they came to get her for her surgery, she asked if she could go back in a wheelchair. I don't think she stopped smiling after that. She kept saying "this is the best day of my life", the doctor thought she was so cute and funny!
About 3 hours later, we finally got to go into recovery and see her, she was still pretty out of it.
Once she got into her room around 6:30, she fell back asleep around 7 and slept the rest of the night.
She got lots of balloons and presents, and Shane's mom and my parents came to visit her.....
We expected to stay in there 2 nights, but they released her that evening because she was doing so well.

She was feeling pretty good the next day. She was up and walking but was really sore. She has an incision a little over 2 inches long just below her bikini line, it was a lot bigger then I was expecting.
That hospital is wonderful and has all kinds of things to keep kids entertained. She went and played BINGO, in her wheelchair of course, and then she could call room service anytime she wanted.

She has now been home a week, and I'll just say the recovery is not fun! Since they did surgery on her bladder, we've had lots of issues with her going to the bathroom. She's been having to go about every 10 to 20 minutes and she just cries most of the time because it stings so bad. I took her to the ER on Saturday night, but there just isn't much they can do because her bladder just needs to heal.
I've been so proud of her through this whole process, she has done so good!
She is so beautiful. I hope she feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie... I love the "patient" doll in the hospital. Glad everything went well. Craig and I were just saying that the next time we come to Gunnison we would love to come see you guys for a minute. Im so excited that you are having twins.. Twins are absolutely the BEST! double the work for sure :) but double the FUN, and double the JOY!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad everything turned out ok... aside from the constant bathroom trips post-surgery :) Typical Kennedi to love being there. I'm sure it was so nice for the doctors and nurses to have someone so happy and excited!
ReplyDeleteIt's allways sad when a little one has to be in the hospital. Glad to hear she is doing better. p.s. I want to keep following your families blog if that's alright. rebeccauwatson@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteOh, I love the pictures of Dax! He's so cute! We need to start locking Chase in his room at night, but we're a bunch of wimps.

She is a little trooper. That is so funny that she was saying it was the best day of her life. Sounds like she is pretty easy to please:) That pic of Dax asleep at his door is so cute. Landon use to not talk much either and then all the sudden one day he decided he want to say anything and everything. He is a talker now, but he use to not be. So do you guys have any baby names yet? Your little belly is cute. Oh don't forget to invite us when you go private. My e-mail is Carlylena@msn.com
