Lily's First Surgery

About this time last year, Austin had surgery to put tubes in his ears and Daniel had surgery to get his tonsils and adnoids removed. Well, Thursday, around a year later, Lily had her first surgery. Her surgery was to have some dental work done. Back in October, right before we moved, we went and had our teeth cleaned. Well, we discovered that Daniel and Lily had cavities! Well, then we moved very soon after. So we quickly found a dentist and he got to work filling their cavities. Well, Lily had a very deep cavitiy...deeper than he realized. So as he was filling the cavitiy and going deeper and deeper to clean it out little Lily girl started getting pretty uncomfortable. So he filled it temporarily and recommended her to a pediatric dentist. She recommended we put her to sleep to fill it and while she was asleep she went ahead and filled her other smaller ones. This couldn't happen until last week. So this past Thursday, 6 months after finding the cavities, we headed to the hospital for Lily to have her mouth worked on. She was SOOO good! We had to be there at 9:30am, for her surgery at 11:30am and she couldn't eat or drink anything all day! But she handled it pretty good!
We brought a bunch of books, and they gave her a coloring book...

Then we discovered a drawer under her little table that would slide open on both sides. So what did we do? We mailed things back and forth to each other...

We waited and waited in her little out-patient room. But we stayed very entertained. We didn't even realize we had a tv until about 20 minutes before they took her back! Around 11:45am they finally came to get her and her surgery started around 12ish. Then that took about an hour and a half. When they brought her back to me she was sound asleep...

She stayed that way for about 2 hours! Then she finally woke up and was HUNGRY! They gave her 2 popcicles...

And then we were able to go home (well actually to McD's for chicken nuggets for the starving girl)....around 4pm! What a day! But I must say, it was quite relaxing to me! Most of my time was spent reading, eating lunch, watching Food Network, and most importantly....sitting!! And Lily did just great! We had a good ole' time together! And now we are working harder than ever to keep these kiddos from getting more cavities! Below I've included a funny video of Lily practicing falling asleep with the mask....that I might add, they let her take home!! Enjoy!
