Playing in the first waiting room
Daddy helping get me get on my hospital gown
Playing with magnets on the wall
Awake for just a brief 2 minutes (literally)
Minnie is recovering too in my hospital bed
Very very sleepy
On my way out of recovery. "Daddy save me" she said
Today Brynlee had an endoscopy and colonoscopy at Primary Children's Hospital. We have been waiting a long time for them to finally do this. We all want answers to her chronic bowel, weight and pain issue. Bryn did really well in surgery. The entire surgery took about 2 hours. They gave us wonderful pictures of her guts to bribe her with later in life. We really like our gastroenterologist. He is very thorough and he spent a lot of time with us after the procedure was complete. He said that they couldn't visually see anything abnormal but they took A LOT of biopsy's of her small intestine and colon. They are testing for any sign of inflammation that they couldn't see, allergies, and anything else I guess. The results won't be back for a week.
Ben was the first one to be able to go back and see her. Only one parent could go back to the first recovery room. She is such a daddy's girl that I let Ben. During that time, Bryn's vital signs crashed (blood pressure and oxygen dropped and her pulse jumped up). They had to call the doctor to get instruction on what he wanted them to do. They gave her some extra bolus of fluid along with the IV that was already running. She apparently was more dehydrated then they thought. They didn't let me go back until she was moved into the second recovery room and stable. Ben didn't tell me what happened until I had been in there for a minute and noticed all the extra fluid pumping through her IV at a fast rate. When he told me what her blood pressure was, I freaked out. HOLY COW how scary. While in the last recovery room, her BP slowly started coming up and her oxygen only occasionally dropped. She just looked horrible to me...like a white, pasty ghost. She is doing better at the moment even though she still looks like a white pasty ghost. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Thank you for all your prayers.
