Pre-Op

Addy and I spent two and a half hours at the hospital this evening getting her pre-op stuff done. The poor RN taking all of her info had no idea that it would take forever to get a three-year-old's medical history! I don't understand why I have to give the same information every time we go to the hospital. Can't they keep all of her history in a nice little file on the computer? They put everything into the computer, why can't it just stay there??? So frustrating! Anyway, Addy is all set for her Myringotomy on Monday. Such a big words to describe a five minute surgery to place ear tubes! This is her second set, the others lasted for over two years so hopefully we are good to go for awhile. Once we got pre-op done Addy had to be re-"admitted" to the hospital so we could drop off her stool samples and have her abdomen x-rayed. It took quite awhile to get the x-rays done since they had two precious students working that completely underestimated Addy's strength. I finally had to step in and say "You have to HOLD her, she obviously can move and get away! You're not going to hurt her by holding firmly!" The x-ray tech was quite impressed with the amount of air in her belly. Shocking huh? I'm really hoping Dr. Tummy will be able to give this girl some relief!!!
