Just took her back

They just took Allie for surgery. They gave her the woozy meds in her iv so this time it took about 2 minutes for her to get in her happy place and giggle. One of her surgical team members carried her back singing wheels on the bus and she was just fine.

Last night had lots of ups and downs. She was fearful of anyone doing anything she didn't immediately recognize such as stethoscope. She got an hour or two of sleep after dinner and then was woken for shift change. Then she just got giddy when she figured out I was sleeping beside her. She was just talking away in the dark with the only understandable words being "Mommy"  and "outside" with the sign.  Then she settled and slept okay when she wasn't getting checked.  She also had a nosebleed which was disturbing but went away eventually. Matt came this morning and we had a short time in the room before being wheeled down to pre-op. They will call us when the surgeon actually starts the procedure- an hour or so after they took her- and then every hour after. I am tired. But too nervous to sleep yet. Hoping to get a nap in here before too long. Still many days to go!!
