Eye Surg

Tripp gets his Eye Surgery to fix a clogged Tear Duct!
Check in at Admitting, then at Day Surgery, Get Gown, Dress in Gown and get Vitals Taken, and then Wait in Crowded Waiting Room with other Patients in their Gowns...
Still happy, waiting...

So waiting for 2 1/2 hours gets really old for a 14 month old who has not eaten for over 20 hours and can't get down and play. Thank Goodness for the Binkie and the Special Blankie from Grandma Hatch. Also I am SOOOO Thankful that Daddy was able to come help. I could not have gone though this Alone. Tripp Required many a Jaunt Up and Down the Hallways to help him Settle Down.

Cute little foot unaware that in a little while it would have to be stuck multiple times to get an IV in.

After a short snooze he is up only to discover that he is still Waiting...

X marks the spot. The nurse came and marked the eye that needed to be worked on. The permanent marker is Slow to come off...

When we finally got into Pre-Op the Anesthesiologist came and discussed what was going to happen. Then a nurse took him around the corner. He let out a squawk and Mom Started to cry with worry for her little boy that was about to be put under...

About 35 mins later the surgeon came out said it all went smooth and that Tripp would be into recovery in a few minutes. In a few minutes we heard a screaming little boy a few rooms away. The Tears started to flow again as we heard Tripp screaming and could not go to him. in a few minutes a nurse came out and got us. They said that Tripp was not impressed when they removed the IV from his foot. He soon settled when we arrived and he had a drink, his, binkie and his blankie.

After about an hour in Recovery Tripp got a Popsicle which he thoroughly enjoyed and we were released. All is well and Tripp is in good form.
