Surgery Aftermath

It's all over.

Thankfully, the Bear was at the daycare today. It's 4:15pm and the Bear went to swim lessons with the Hubs. The Hubs actually was able to watch the Bear at lessons...WAHOO! The kid is a character naturally. At swim lessons? His gregarious personality comes out even more. He's animated but listens intently to his instructor. I'm glad the Hubs picked the Bear up from the daycare and brought him to lessons. SO GLAD!

As of now, the Princess is awake. She's still shaking off the anesthesia. On the drive home, I had to hold the Prin's head up. She was SO groggy. I am so glad that the Hubs was able to take the day off and drive. There was NO way I'd be able to get the Prin home alone. She threw up about a mile from our house. Just once. And when we got home? We put the Prin down on the couch. She slept for about 2 hours. She's gotten sick at least 4 times since she woke up. That's fine. Everytime she does get sick she feels fantastic. Then she gets another wave of nausea. But that's the way it goes. To get all the sleepy stuff out of her system and the stuff she accidentally swallowed during the procedure.

She's now watching Animal Planet and she's content. NOT EVEN INTERESTED in any food. Which is good because she was still vomiting until just about 20 minutes ago. But she's fine. Just not so pleasant to be around when she's feeling nauseous.

Help me vomit Mommy! Rub my back!

Yes. That's me. The one who holds her hair and rubs her back. But at least it's all over now.
