the procedure

Monday June 9, 2014

Aaron had to be at outpatient surgery at 9am. His procedure was at 10:30am. We checked in and I was so nervous. All I could think of was all the other times we have been in the hospital. Aaron has been doing so well and I really didn't want him to have anesthesia. They called him back and we started with all of the questions about his medical history. I talked with the anesthesiologist (Dr Hudson) and she was very reassuring considering his history and past complications. They finally got the leads to read and they showed sinus arrhythmia. Dr H didn't look very happy when she was watching the monitor which added to my fear. They came and took my baby. I didn't want him to go. I kissed him and told him I loved him and watched them take him away. To hand over my sweet angel is one of the hardest things I have done, and I have had to do it numerous times. To trust him in the care of others is so difficult.


Dr M called me back and said he changed the button and everything went well. I was so relieved. He sent me back to the waiting room to wait for the nurse. I got nervous as I walked to my seat. I remember last time the Dr told me everything was fine. I returned to the waiting room and waited a long time for a nurse. He was having problems. His heart rate was crazy and he was needing lots of oxygen. They were doing an X-ray because they thought he had aspirated. Luckily I was able to go back and the anesthesiologist was still with him. She said he did well and was still doing well. His vitals looked good. I was so thankful.


He had some trouble waking up but he did great. We were able to go home after a few hours and he was in a good mood after a nap. So thankful!!

LOVE this sweet angel!!!
