As if we didn't have enough excitement going on around here, we decided to add a couple of surgeries into one day...two days before Thanksgiving.
When Nick was a baby he had an umbilical hernia and lately he has been having a lot of pain in that area. So we took him into the surgeon and he said it was probably a small hernia still but he needed to go in and close it off. Nick wanted to have time to recover over Thanksgiving so he wouldn't have to miss any school so we scheduled it for Tuesday.
It was about an hour surgery and went great. They even turned his "outie" belly button into an "innie" so he was pretty excited about that.
Hailey was told at her last dentist appointment that her wisdom teeth needed to come out ASAP. So we called the oral surgeon and the only day they had available was Tuesday. haha So now we had 2 kids scheduled for surgery on the same day...Nick at 10:30 and Hailey at 3:00. I thought that would be plenty of time for me to be at both but when Nick was really nauseous after his surgery and couldn't sit up without feeling like he was going to throw up or pass out, I started to get a little panicky that I wouldn't be able to get him home and over to the school to pick up Hailey to get her to her appointment in time. Nick said he was fine to stay there till Brian could get there to take him home but because he is a minor, the hospital wouldn't let me leave and have him be there alone. So as soon as I saw Brian come around the corner I ran out of there as fast as I could and scrambled to get Hailey and we ended up only being a couple minutes late.
Hailey was hilarious coming out of the anesthesia but once the numbness wore off she was in quite a bit of pain. Luckily Faith was there to help cheer her up.
