Ella's Surgery

As if i was nervous enough already i didn't need anything to make me more nuts. So Ella was scheduled for surgery yesterday. They told me i would receive a phone call from the hospital telling me what time we needed to be there the day before. So 2:00pm rolls around and i haven't heard from them so i take it upon myself to call and find out what time we needed to be there. I am one of those people i need things in order and need to know. No last minute crap for me. So i call and they tell me well they are just starting to make the calls you should hear something soon. Okay well i am already on the line you can just tell me now. NO you will be getting a phone call. OK fine! So 6:00pm rolls around and nothing. I have not heard a word from the hospital so i call again well they are closed! Well at least the reception people i guess. So i am not in a panic. Surely i dialed wrong or something i call several more times and nothing. So i called the Dr's office and explain my situation and she says hold on puts me on hold and then transfers me to the same recording telling me they are closed. UGH!!! So i call back and explain my situation again and say please don't transfer to this recorded message that they are closed! So i finally get a human to talk to who tries real hard to help figure out what time her procedure is scheduled for. She fines Ella in the system and say it's scheduled for 8:15am. Okay great she knows nothing else and says i guess you should try to be here at least an hour before. Don't eat or drink anything after midnight. okay that part i new. She tells me when i get up to try calling them again. So i do and what do you know they don't open till 8:00 am are you SERIOUS???? Well whatever we get on the road start our drive we get to the surgery center it's locked/closed WHAT????????????? This can't be happening! So i again start calling and getting stupid recording and finally call the Dr's office again explain my situation over AGAIN. Finally i get someone to open the door at the surgery center to only find out surgery is no longer done there. You have got to be kidding me right? Okay well.............where am i suppose to go? I am now heated and have a Baby who wants a cup! The very nice helpful lady calls around FOREVER trying to find out and finally we need to go to another surgery center because the surgery center was bought by someone else and now the procedures are being done there. UGH!!! But no one decided to tell me this. Can't wait to get that how did we do survey! You'll be sorry! Finally we get there only to find our Ella's appointment somehow has been canceled. OH HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! So they have no idea how she got canceled or anything but will still do the surgery. So they take her back we do paper work and everything she is doing great. Talking to the nurses and everyone telling her how beautiful she is and how much they LOVE her big flower Ba-bet(barrette). Then the anesthetist walks in yeah not so happy anymore. I think he was just scary and had a heavy accent. The eyes welded up and so did mine. It is so heart wrenching to watch your baby scared or sad and crying. So normally they give the kids this drink of medicine which makes the sorta loopy so when they have to leave Mama and Daddy they don't freak out. Well the medicine takes about 45 minutes to kick in and now they don't have time so needless to say she was balling and so was i when they had to take her away from us. We went in the waiting room and i stared at the clock waiting for them to call us and tell us everything was okay. There was this man in there all loud in everyone's business i wanted to just throw something at. So finally after what seemed like forever they called Ella's name and i jump up and turn to walk towards the desk and for whatever reason thought i was on the end seat and i wasn't. WHAM!! right into the row of chairs ya that hurt a bit. So they were letting us know she was out of surgery and sleeping in recovery and they would call us when she woke up. I had to use the bathroom the whole time but didn't want to leave Ella for a second or miss anything. So i held it till that point. Once i new she was out and in recovery i decided to go to the bathroom before i peed me pants. Of coarse when i go into the bathroom the Dr. came out and talked to Brian just my luck. He told him everything went well and she needed to see him in a couple weeks. THANK GOD FOR ANSWERED PRAYERS! Ella finally woke up and we got to go back and see her. When we got back there she was drunk licking a Popsicle. She was still very out of it but cried as soon as she seen us. and yes so did I. She just wanted to go home and sleep and watch her new Bambi movie she said. So we finally got to dress her and take her home. She slept the whole way home until we where three house from home and stuck by a train. The train blew and woke her up. WOW i guess her hearing is better because she couldn't ever hear the train. So home we went and she is doing fine. I want to thank all of you for the thoughts and prayers for Ella and her family yesterday. We needed it and they were answered thank you all so much. You sometimes forget how many people you really have in your corner till you ask for help! Thanks again! Love Darcy & Ella!
