Day Two Surgery

I haven't gotten a chance to post since Kaylee got out of surgery yesterday so let me fill y'all in! After Kaylee got out of surgery Dr. Morales, her surgeon, told us that surgery went well and she was in recovery. It took a little over thirty minutes before we got to see her in PICU. When we finally got to see her it was a little scary to see, some tears were definitely shed. She had a breathing tube, chest tube, pulse ox, catheter, central IV in neck, IVs in both hands and one in foot, and other wires that don't come to mind at the moment. She woke up every once in a while angry and fighting. I imagine that she was quite uncomfortable with all the breathing tube and chest tube, not to mention the restraints she had on her wrists so she wouldn't be tempted to pull out and wires. It was a little heart breaking to see her crying but there was no sound, only tears. The breathing tube blocked her larynx so she couldn't actually make sound.  Later on in the evening the breathing tube came out and she seemed a little comfier. This morning Kaylee's chest tube and catheter came out. This afternoon her iv on her left hand came out. Her central line came out right before we were moved out of PICU and into our own room. Kaylee actually kicked out her IV in her foot so that was also gone when we went to our room. She is now very content in our new room as long as nurses and drs stay at a distance. Earlier she got to walk around and play in the play room, she LOVED it! Grandma Sonda pulled Kaylee around in the wagon and she also got pushed around in this little car thingy?

 Even through all of this her cute little funny personality shined through. She giggled to her favorite show Yo Gabba Gabba, and she pretended her remote was a phone (everything electronic is a phone to Kaylee).
Its time to get some Zzzzz....Goodnight!

  1. I'm glad Kaylee has made it through surgery and I hope she recovers and does not need the surgery again, even if they think she might.
