Well, my mind definately has not been on work today, though I will have been here for 9 hours today. My mind is on tomorrow.
Tomorrow Julia is going in for her Botox injections. How lucky that hers are covered under insurance! Mine aren't!! :) Anyway, just trying to make light of the situation.
Julia is not allowed any food after 10pm tonight, and no liquids after 630am tomorrow. She has to be at the hospital in Aurora at 745am....and her procedure isn't until 945am. Considering we usually appease her crying with snacks and juice, it will be a very loud morning...bring the Ipod! :) Shawn is going to bring his phone so she can watch Dora videos, and hopefully she will stay relatively entertained until anesthesia time.
They are hoping to accomplish anesthesia with just a face mask - but with Julia's sensory issues with things on her face - i do not know how that will go. I KNOW she will have to be held down, arms tied down, legs tied down, to try to accomplish this. If they can't do it this way, she will have to get an IV and be induced. I'm not looking forward to any of it, but luckily she has no idea what is in store for tomorrow.....Well, we will get through it baby girl...mom is always here for you, and Grandma and Shawn will be there tomorrow too. It will be ok. The whole procedure takes maybe 10 minutes - i'm not worried about that part - just the "getting her down" part......
So, say an extra prayer for Julia tonight and tomorrow - mostly that she won't be scared and that she won't have any adverse events during anesthesia, and also that the Botox shots will help her leg!!!!
