DD's first surgery

just got ot of Dornbecker after long ordeal that started with "mama my tummy hurts, carry me to the bathroom I feel like I'm going to throw up..." I figured it out pretty quickly- it was appendecitis and the x-rays and CAT scan were not definitive because she was too thin for the contrast to contrast. she was a champ in coping with the pain from the enema that was needed tho... better than the adults that I work with! We rode over in an ambulance from the Kaiser ER to the Dornbecker ER and Zoe's main surgeron was great. She was in a LOT of pain afterward, she had an open appendectomy not a laproscopic, and she was really emotional from the narcotics. Now that we are home she is doig much better. Hospitals are very tiring places to live for a couple days, very different than when I am working. The staff were great and her surgons were really nice. One of them was an acondroplastic dwarf which I thought was cool, she really liked him. anyway, that's it, I just wanted to record the experience on my blog.
