The nurse asked if I wanted her to have a sedative to help with the IV. Since the hospital and being sick so much she is not a fan of shots! (she has had quite a few lately!) so I asked Abby if she was nervous at all and she said yes and plus it was early so we went ahead and had a cherry sedative. Gave her a few minutes for that to start working then came back to get her hooked up to the IV. The nurse gave her a numbing shot then injected her IV. Took vitals and got hooked up on all her machines. After the nurse left, Grandma was able to come back and sit with us. Abby got SO goofy! With being tired and the sedative she was so silly!! We joked, laughed read a few books then they came to get her. I gave her a kiss and she was off. I waited in the waiting room and worked on some homework.
About 40 minutes later....the Doctor came out and gave me a report and everything went fine!
5 minutes after the Doctor left the nurse came and said I could go see her now....that's when it
ALL fell apart!...
I walked back there and a nurse was holding her with blankets and she still had her IV in (they wanted it in until right when we left, to have access if needed) so I came in and sat down and they handed her to me. She was SO so so so SAD and in SO much pain!! She was still really groggy from being under. She had a little blood out of her nose and the nurse said that's normal, since they take the adenoids out their nose. All Abby wanted to do was go home. She was still really out of it and could not sit still and just kept saying she wanted to go home. I tried to hold her still for a little while I talked to the nurse. She kept crying and she sounded SO bad! You could just tell she was in SO much pain. She sounded like she had a huge lump in her throat!! The nurse was talking about, if she throws up blood and stuff like that, its normal. Abby keeps squirming and crying then finally......I lost it!!! I felt SO sick! I asked the nurse if they had something to throw up in and it was coming!! I got so faint!!! I just felt the life sucked out of me!! I became white as a ghost and nauseous and dizzy!! The nurse ran and got the other nurse that was helping. One held Abby and the other layed the chair back and got a compress for me and I had to have some Sprite to. I was laying there with my eyes closed trying SO hard to stay there (mentally, not passing out!!!) I got so cold and sweaty! Finally the nurse had to go get oxygen for me! I was SO embarrassed!!! I felt like SUCH A HORRIBLE MOTHER! Here I am, supposed to be taking care of my child who is in so much pain and I freak out!!! It. was. awful. Finally after about 20 minutes I got composure and was ok. THEN....I started crying!!! These nurses must think I'm some sort of loony, unfit, horrible Mother!!! They did keep reassuring me this wasn't the first time and that they both have kids and know what it's like. NO mother should have to see their child in SO much pain!! NEVER!!!
So....finally I got it under control and was able to drive home. Got Abby home and got her pain medicine and shes doing MUCH better now. I still have a hard time dealing with it.
These past few months have been SO hard with her being sick so much. All the doctors visits and shots, and IVs and blood work and pain....I'm just glad it will all be over soon! I know this was the right thing to do and it will pass, but it is by far one of the hardest things I've had to do!
I did take a few pictures before, but they were with my phone, I think I can get them on the computer, but I'm not sure, I'll try.

I talked to Sam a little about it...I'm so glad she's okay. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that, but I totally understand. They put Connor under to do an MRI and just watching him on the sedative was so, so hard--and he wasn't even in any pain. You're a great mom!!
