Surgery completed!

We arrived at the hospital at 7:00am. We went in and Makayla was doing well, a bit nervous. She got a little upset when they put the white dots on her hands. Only because they did this the last time she got an IV. (and she remembered). So, that was a bit upsetting. Then we went in and at 7:20 they gave her chocolate topping which made her a bit woozy (sp?). And, boy was she out of it. She kept insisting on coloring in her coloring book. Except for she really wasn't coloring she was just sitting there staring at the book and her hand wasn't moving. So, Chris asked her if she wanted to color. or just be held. And, she looked straight at Chris and said.... " I AM COLORING SEE!". :) Quite funny. About 8:00. They came in took me and her to surgery where i got to stay until she was asleep. They did put the IV in before she was out. And, actually she was laughing when they put the IV in. So, she was a really good girl. They fixed 13 spots on 7 teeth. They drilled and re filled most of her teeth so, that they would be tough and solid. They completed everything WITHOUT having to crown any of her teeth! (AMEN!) Makayla already had a complex about the holes that were in her teeth. So, crowning was a bit of a worry for Chris and I. Because we were afraid it would upset her. However, the dentist is VERY positive that they have fixed everything and that this is it until her teeth fall out! :) So, we will continue to take care of these and now will stay away from Lollies, juice, toast, etc. All the things that are bad for her, and try to make sure we have no more visits. I did alright during the 90 minutes. It did seem to take forever... It was hard when they came out and said they were done and we had to wait to go see her. It was about 12 minutes,,, but it seemed like HOURS! She was just coming to and we had heard her cry a few times. But, she looked great and was the first child they said they ever had who WANTED to where her oxygen mask after the procedure. Which they say wakes you up very quickly and is very good to breathe in after the surgery. SO, after 2 hours we were on our way home! She is a champ. They say it takes 18 hours for the anaesthesia to really wear off. So, it is laying on the couch and movies and soft foods for the next 48 hours. She has already watched cars, and has a whole list of movies like toy story 1 and toy story 2 and so on. SO, it should go well from here. Thank you to everyone who has prayed! And, to everyone who supported us to have this done! We are TRULY grateful. The doctor said it will be interesting to see if Makayla put on 1-2 kilos after this. She has really been a little bird eater. And, although she likes everything just never eats much at a sitting. So, they said it would be interesting to see if she gets and appetite after this procedure. She has already had 2 bowls of soup! So, we are on our way. Again, thank you to everyone. God bless. Melissa
