Today our little JJ had her eye surgery. 3 muscles were loosened behind her eyes. We arrived at the surgery center at 5:45am with a sleepy J. She actually did very well for having nothing to eat or drink since 9:30pm the nigth before. After being admitted, she played in her hospital crib grabbing anything within her reach. On a little tangent, medical forms can be somewhat daunting for Jaden because we have to fill in information for both sets of 'parents', her real parents and her birth parents. I have to go back and adjust my answers because I find myself entering our family medical history as opposed to her birth family's (of which we know virtually nothing.)
After talking with the anesthesiologist, the surgeon and the nurse, she was given what they called 'Happy Juice'. I asked where I could get summa dat - all I got was a sympathetic smile. So here's J on her happy juice. She was crackin' people up with her drunk smile and crazy antics.
1 1/2 hours later, she awoke with quite a ferocious growly scream. After calming and dressing her, we put her in her carseat for the ride home. Very groggy and swollen. She'll be crying bloody tears for a couple of days and the whites of her eyes are red. Other than that, I think she's looking straight at me now!
Tune in tomorrow for the new Jaden!

She is so darling... I've had her in my heart & thoughts all day...
Got to love the "Happy Juice"! My husband has access to dat-stuff and swears that it makes his job much easier! Sorry, he says we can't have any!!! Hopefully your little JJ won't have bloody tears for long and will be feeling much better in the morning. You've got to be draggin! It's so emotional for us parents when our kids have to be put out for anything. Get some rest and keep us posted tomorrow!
