Surgery No. 2

Today started with an early wake up call. We showered got to the hospital and visted with Madison a little after 8:00AM only to find out once we got there the surgery was pushed back an hour. So instead of 9:30AM it was 10:30AM I didn't mind much I got extra time with my babes. When we got to the NICU and to her bed she was screaming her little head off : / midnight was her last feed so she hasn't eaten much so I held her and tried to get her to sleep a bit before he surgery and she did. She sleep through transporting her from bed to bed and slept through our walk to the other end of the hospital where she was having the surgery. When everything was situated they said it would take an hour so it would be done by 12:00PM. It was 11AM then. So we walked back to the other side of the hospital where the cafeteria was grabbed some food and tore it up. So then it was about 15 minutes until surgery should be finished so we walked back slowly sat in the little room to wait. So 12PM came and gone. By 12:10PM the doctor came in and said there were no suprises and the surgery couldn't have gone any more perfect and that they are waking her up now. Keep in mind she had to have a breathing tube put in for the surgery which I didn't like at all. So all the nurses and people that were with us to take her to the operating room was standing in the hall waiting for her to come out. One nurse said "What they can't wake her up or something?" So I heard that and was like whatttt? Then I overheard another nurse saying "Do we need to get respitory to help?" So after that a nurse came over and said everything was fine they extubated her and they are just waiting for her to wake up more. So I was like thank you for telling me' and she was saying that she was wondering why they didn't tell them that until after 12:30PM. So we waited she got back to the NICU and crying...poor hungry baby. So after that she fell asleep again so once she wakes up they will start half feeds and gradually increase...again. So I will be back there later on and hope to feed her a couple feeds tonight.

Saturday or Sunday...

The nurse informed me tonight they are thinking of taking out her breathing tube and switching her to nasal oxygen which is completely awesome! She was only on 17 for the vent so I guess she seems to be breathing a lot on her own now and just needing a bit of oxygen support :) the date for the surgery is still unknown and this information came as a shock. I was expecting these changes to only be made after surgery but it seems they are happy with how she is progressing respiratory wise which makes me happy! That was my quick update for the night.
