Day Surgery
Kaden had his tonsils and adenoids taken out yesterday. We checked in at 7am and they took Kaden for surgery at 8:40. While he was being wheeled down the hall he was saying "hi" to all the nurses and "love you" to me and Ty. The surgery went well. Dr. M said his airway was 80-90% blocked by his huge tonsils and adenoids. So it was a good thing we made this decision. Then all hell broke through. The nurses came and got us at 9:10 saying that Kaden wanted his mommy. We walked back to the PACU. I heard the most horrific sound (I really want this memory to go away) Kaden was crying/moaning/screaming. To be honest I wanted to throw up while holding my crying, unconsolable baby in the post anesthesia room right after his surgery. I felt helpless. It was really hard and scary. About an hour later after a dose of Morphine, then Demerol, and finally a breathing treatment of epinephrine from respiratory, Kaden slept. The staff at the hospital was amazing. They took such good care of us. Kaden is doing much better today. Thanks for all the phone calls last night. Hopefully a full recovery is ahead and life will be better for our sweet little Kaden.

that is so scary! im so sorry that you had to go through that. Love you {hug}
I had no idea, we were all joking last night, thinking for sure that you had gone to Twilight. POOR KADEN. I think that helpless feeling is the WORST thing about being a parent. Hopefully he won't remember this.
Wow I didn't know you were planning on having that done! That is really hard working with your little ones post anesthesia. Brooklyn was the same was after her tubes were put in. You really just want to sit and cry with them. If you need anything.. or just to chat with someone.. give me a call.
Glad the surgery went OK. Poor little guy, I guess that it is better to get it done now, when he is little, rather than when he is older. Take care.
Poor Kaden! I hope all is going better now. How's the pregnancy going?
What a rough ride! I'm sure he'll sleep so much better than he used to after he's all healed, though. Poor, sweet little guy.
Oh, I was going to ask if when he was going in! At least it's over...hopefully you'll see a huge improvement soon!
so glad to hear that things got better after a good dose of drugs. man i love those things... i mean, what! good luck with him.
poor little Kaden! I think I would freak out too, but you gotta be strong even though it kills huh!
