Lydia Did Great

On Friday she had an eye exam that had to be done to check for glaucoma. That was such a early morning, I have up and ready by 5 meaning a had to get up at 4:30. Must say we left a little late because Lydia had to be there at 6:15 and we were parking a 6:15 yeah that just shows that you're going to be late.

 

When we got there everything was getting done real quick. She got signed in and then taken to her room. room 21 to be exact. The rooms at same day surgery are very weird they are glass sliding doors. She had a nurse come in, then the nurse to talk to us about her being asleep, then the guy that would put her to sleep, add about 3 more people to him, and then the eye doctor they were all in the room at once. Small room with about 10 people in it. Yeah I thought I was going to scream.

 

Lydia was a pro in the room she knew what was going to happen and when it was going to happen. She knew that they had toys and she wanted them, she knew that she would have to take medicine, and then she knew about the mask she would have on her mouth she help her go (Nightie Night).

 

They told us they would be taking her back to get ready at 7:30 so we gave her hugs and kisses and she gave them to us. If you don't know Lydia like really really know Lydia then you are  missing out on an angel she can smile and make you're heart melt. She is the sweetest little girl ever.

 

They took her back.

 

We waited and waited. We went out trying to get a snack and a drink but the snack area was still locked. Because let me remind you this was really early morning. So we went back to the room and waited. I told mom she should go check because I didn't want to walk back out there like a loser. Yay it was opened we were hungry we hadn't eaten anything. So when we went in there we just wanted something it didn't matter what it was. Doughnuts that's what we ate. Yummy.

 

Then we went back to waiting. They told us that it shouldn't take to long but it felt like forever. We were hungry again but then the eye doctor came in and told us that there wasn't any signs right now of glaucoma. That doesn't mean she won't ever have it. Most likely she will have it in her lifetime. But when she does they will have a eye surgery to try to remove it. EW!

 

We then got the phone call saying she was in recovery so we went back to the area that she was in. Curtain 7. She threw up sometime from the time we got the phone call to the time we got in there. That was a little hard because the nurse in there was like don't touch her. Um lady she is our daughter/sister we will touch her if we want to. Then she was moved back into room 21 she didn't wake up till after two hours after the medicine stopped. She likes to sleep.

 

She would start to wake up then she would go right back to sleep. Then we found that the movie HOP was on and that's Lydia's favorite movie. She couldn't open her eyes because they hurt pretty bad. From what the doctor had told us they were moving her eyes. Ouch! We started to put the remote by her head. The remote was the sound. Hospitals are just weird like that. She was so funny she just lay there listening to it trying to open her eyes the nurse came in and gave her sunglasses she felt bad for her. Lydia then go to rock some awesome flower sunglasses.

 

Not long after that our nurse I really wish I remembered her name. Took out Lydia's IV and was getting us ready to leave. I got Lydia back into her clothes, Well the first time in her clothes when we left with her in her nightgown it was just to early to get dressed. Then it was time to go.

 

We decided to meet Sarah to eat because she had Adam and Caleb. So we got to go to Red Robin (YUM) Lydia was singing that on our way to eat.

 

-Yeah so that's it for Lydia's eye exam everything went great
