Yesterday was Kensi's BIG surgery day!!! We had to be at Primary Children's at 8:45am and her surgery started at 10:15am :D She couldn't eat anything starting at midnight the night before but it wasn't a big deal since she sleeps 12 hours at night :D So we just loaded her up with extra food the night before. We also had Bri Guy and my Grandpa Kay give her a blessing. The day of we checked her in and had to wait like 30 minutes after that before passing her off to the anesthesiologist(sp?). She did sooooo good... poor lil thing was hungry as heck but she hardly cried at all and just went to sleep while we rocked and she held on tight to her lil bunny that is her favorite toy :D She was only in surgery for an hour and then I got to go in the recovery room so I was there when she woke up!! I got in there and she was SUCKING ON A BINKY!!! It was a miracle I tell ya-- now they are her best friends. She was just way way outta it all day yesterday since the anesthesia lasts 24 hours... She just slept the day away. She has hardly cried at all-- she is such a lil tough cookie :D They didn't have to do any major cuts on her yesterday--it was a closed surgery so all they had to do was pop that lil sucker back into place... they did have to make just a teeny tiny barely there cut to get the cotton swab with special stuff they put on the socket to check for any extra tissue blocking it from going back in but it was NEGATIVE...so it was the easier of the two surgeries. I'm so glad they didn't have to cut my lil baby up!! :D Today she is back to her happy self-- she has hardly cried at all but I can tell she is a lil annoyed and frustrated she can't kick her legs or grab her feet anymore... Or sit up as straight as she liked too. She's just taking it with a big old smile though with her binky in her mouth and bunny in her hand :D Last night my mom and sister were here to help out and play games ;) hehe And both sets of my grandparents and aunt Natalie came over to check on Kensi too! Everything is just aok with Kensi and I'm so glad we got some pain killers for her so she never has to hurt :D We go in next Friday for a CAT scan to make sure they got it in the right place-- so we'll know for sure it was a S U C C E S S then :D Thanks everyone for your prayers and thoughts-- we are all doing just dandy at our house and are just glad to have it done and over with!!! I've finally gotten the hang of it-- It was tricky changing her diaper and moving her around because the cast makes it a lil awkward to hold her... but I've got it figured out and am not having any more problems with it :D THANK GOODNESS!! Here are some pics from yesterday!!!
Just snoozing away before I had to wake her up early to get ready :D
Fixin to head out for the hospital :D
Me and Kensi after she woke up... She just wanted me to snuggle her and that bunny for her to snuggle! :D Bri and I were calling her our cheerleader before her surgery because she always puts her hands up in a "V" and LOVES football...so now we just joke she's working on her Cheerleading splits for her toe touches :DThat's all the Kensi news for now :D We'll keep ya posted!!!! Definitely can NOT wait for May so we can hold her minus practicing her cheerleading splits haha Toodles for now!!!
