June 13th 2011 - Kayden's Surgery

This day was seriously the saddest day of my life. He was so mad about everything. We got to the hospital at 6 in the morning and got checked in. Kayden went through and did all the stuff he was supposed to like weighing in...and then in the end they gave him purple pajamas...he was not happy about that one bit.
We were in the pre-op area chilling and the doctor came in and saw us as well as the 'sleep' doctor. The ENT that was taking the tonsils/adenoids out informed us that because of Kayden's age he would be staying the night at the hospital to make sure there were no complications. It was seriously the worst night of my life. Kayden never has really been one that was up all night as a baby, but with nurses coming in all night and all the stuff connected to Kayden, it made for a really long night.
When Kayden woke up from the surgery he woke up and was immediately ticked off. He tried pulling his IV out and ended up slapping the nurse. Luckily, the anethesialogist was in there and gave him some more meds to knock him out so the nurses could get his IV corrected and taped down.
I hope that no child of mine has to have this surgery again...it was miserable. BUT if anything good came from it...Kayden is a sound sleeper now and doesn't wake up not being able to breathe anymore.
