I wanted to add Jacey's birthday cake picture and a picture I forced her friends to take so I have a reminder of how big everyone was at this party. So here are those and now for more updates.
I had another one of those weeks here recently, the kind where there is multiple things everyday. I took Lucas to get his blood drawn (which he sat amazing for) early tuesday morning for his pre-op apt later that same morning Tuesday the 13th at 10:40 and then he came with me to mine at 1? or 2pm the same day. (I brought his car seat in and buckled him in it with a variety of snacks and other bribery, he did amazing at my appt. and he is always great for his) He was having his 2nd set of eartubes put in and possibly his addnoids removed. I was having "vein mapping" done for my vericose veins. they draw "dots" on you to show where you veins run and how they branch off and where they will inject different fluids, and anethesias, etc...Mean while my girls are at 2 different sitters because Jacey was going to the pumpkin patch that day for school (refer to Jill Smith's blog) and Taylor needed a nap so she played with Sheila and Chloe that day.
Wednesday morning I go in for surgery, Justin takes the day off to take care of me and Sarah comes in to take my kids. Then we get home, I wave to Sarah (I'm 60% drugged at this point) and fall into my bed where I procede to sleep most of the day away. good sleep too. :)
The following morning, Thursday I wake up at 5am to leave at 5:30 to take Lucas to his surgery which starts at 6:30. Justin's off to work. My mom comes over at 5:30am to watch kids until 8:30 when she leaves to teach school at which point my neighbor friend gets roped into switching with my mom until 9:30 at which point Jill comes over to let him off the hook. Lucas' surgery went great, his addnoids were "huge" says Luky's surgeon (who is amazing) so they were removed. His tubes are once again in place, he is a new boy. AFTER he wakes up from his anesthesia and is all loopy we go home? seems like we made one last stop while we were in town? hhhmm. don't remember. So I limp him to his bed where he sleeps off the rest of his anesthesia. maybe we went to the bank... what was it???
THENNN, friday I went in for a recheck of my surgery and have my bandages changed and leg rewrapped. The ultrasound technician that rechecked my leg saw me come in for my appt. and just started smiling like there was something really funny. Besides the fact that I am carrying my son's carseat into my appt to strap him into.... He then tells me all about how the rainbow is a cleaning system not just a vaccum and such..(this is what I talked about while half asleep in surgery). I try to defend myself for selling my vaccum by telling him "we just had it serviced, so I'm sure that's why it was on my mind" and he then says, "I know, you told us." I'm thinking I must have sounded like a nut case...Ohh mannn. He then said "normally people talk about they're dog or a loved one, but you told us about your vaccum..oh sorry, your 'cleaning system' ". At which point I had no words...I could only smile and nodd and be sheepishly embarrassed. ohhh the things anesthesia will dooo... :)
Saturday.....recooperate from that week. That is as quick as I can make those stories. There are some funny stories that I might have to try to write down later but for now we'll call that good. (personal reminders of the surgery: remembering telling them I was awake, washing off my dots, drawing them back on myself. Justin telling me to chew my whopper jr.
