update
Here is the update.. Today went pretty well aside the part this morning where I went crazy trying to gather everything to load the van. Turns out we took too much junk and I forgot my toothbrush, my underwear. MY UNDERWEAR!!!!! So looks like I will have to go to walmart that is near the hospital sometime tmrw afternoon or wednesday to buy myself package of underwear, i need new one anyway.
Arrived to the hospital around 1:15 pm, found parking spot under the hospital (yes they had 4 level of parking right UNDER the hospital). checked into the security and got our pass, then went to the same day surgery floor and checked into the pre admission office. They explained the process, blah blah blah blah blah.. then went to other office where they measure megise head then explained how to wear, clean, so on with her helmet. Then went downstair to the ground level to the lab for her blood work to be done.
We have to show up at 8 am to get ready for the surgery which supposed to start between 9 to 930. They said it should be around 1 to 2 hours or maybe longer for the surgery to be finished. I have to stop nursing her before 4 am. She can not have any of my milk after 4 am but if she is hungry, i only can give her pedi drink but I dont think she will want any since she dont nurse from me that early in the morning anymore. If she does drink my milk after 4 am then the surgery will be canceled which means we have to make other appt for the surgery. So that means I have to be careful when to feed her so I set my alarm for 3 am to wake up and wake megise up and nurse her so that way nothing wrong will happen.
They said that they suggest (not required) to have someone help out with the kids while we are in surgery room so I hope my best friend will be able to make it, if not then that is ok, Nicholas has homework he needs to work on but i dont know about cassie since she is very RESTLESS all day today so i dont know how she will be tmrw during the surgery and being in waiting room.
I have took some pix of her today so I am going to upload it on facebook :)
at this moment while i am typing this.. cassie is playing around in bed and refuse to sleep so seth is in bed with her trying to get her to sleep. Nicholas is peeking at me and shutting his eye then peek.. KIDS!!! Megsie is sleeping peacely right now.
We are staying on 3rd floor at Ronald McDonald House across from the hospital. It is really nice place! we have 3 beds in this room, nice bathroom. Seem small but it is nice!. We also have laundry room downstair in basement, ohhhh!!! the basement have game room, lot of stuff for kids to do, the main floor has community kitchen where we can have everything we want for breakfast, lunch but during supper there is group of people who comes and cook dinner for everyone. It is really nice! I bet that zachary will be in heaven when he arrives on thursday and see that huge Ronald guy sitting outside on the bench. HA.. we will be staying here till friday afternoon i think.
Well i better get started uploading the pix then get to bed so i can get some enough sleep before it is time to nurse megsie.
Good night everyone!
