A Rough Day

The Friday after we got back from Washington, Lanie had to go in for a small surgery to remove a cyst on her forehead. The surgery was minor, but I was a nervous wreck! I hated the idea of anesthesia and was so worried something would go wrong, or Lanie would be too scared. As it turned out, I was worried for nothing. Aunt Suzie had bought her a mini-dvd player and so we brought it with us to occupy her while they were doing all the prep. She had only used it on the trip to Washington, so the novelty was enough to keep her totally occupied. Then they gave her a "happy drink" and were able to wheel her off with out a bit of protest. Before we knew it(about 30 min) the dr. came and got us and told us she was finished. When we got to recovery, she was more than a little ticked, but they said this was normal for young kids coming out of anesthesia. By the time we got up to her room, she was starting to relax and once again the dvd player came in handy, not to mention mom and dad's total devotion. After 2 or 3 hours they sent us home and by that evening Lanie was back to her high energy self.
