First Night in the Hospital

The first night in the hospital was ruff. You hardly slept at all. We had many conversations with two anesthesiologists and the nurses about controlling your pain. We were so scared. The hospital staff was amazing and professional. I could sense that they were a little stumped about how much pain you were in.

We played Singing and Dancing with Mei Mei for you over and over again per your request. It seemed to settle you down a bit.

Auntie Becca was able to arrive just before you went into surgery and then later brought Simone, Uncle Scott, Sara and Emma over after school to visit you. Grandma Prater arrived with us in the morning.

Simone and Auntie Becca brought you a pink kitty. (Also a matching one for Simone.)
Tonight was also the first night that Mommy had ever been away from Simone. It was a big night for Mommy but Simone was fine and went home with Grandma Prater. Here is Simone calling the hospital to check in on you before she went to bed with Grandma Prater.
