OT: Healing thoghts for Miss Georgie...

Tomorrow Georgie (5 in April) has her tonsils and adenoids out.

She's not at all concerned - she is excited about going to hospital and has been requesting helium balloons that say "Get Well Soon" from everyone!!!

I'm quite blase about it all - this will be the 6th anaesthetic between the two girls in 5 years, (only Georgie's 2nd though - and last time was just an endoscopy not actual surgery, but Em has had 3 surgeries), so I'm actually thinking I'm a little TOO blase about it all I also know that its the very best thing we can do for her at the moment so I don't feel one once of sadness over the distress she may go through. (My goodness - that sounds like I'm totally uncaring and cold-hearted! I'm not - I swear LOL)

Emma (7 in July) is actually the one who is suffering the most - she is incredibly fragile and very worried about her sister, and us not being home tomorrow night while we stay in hospital... I think its because she's had so many ops, and spent so much time in hospital that the novelty has well and truly worn off and she knows that the pain of surgery (although hers were much more significant).

So any super-fast healing vibes for Georgie and calming vibes for Emma will be greatly appreciated!

I don't know if I will have the laptop with me at hospital or not, but will update you as soon as I can.

And right now, I'm off to pack our hospital bags - making sure we both look our best of course!!

Thanks so much!

Good thoughts going out to both girls! And you.

Aw... good luck! My son had a similar surgery at the same age (ear tubes put in and adenoids taken out). I hope all three of you make it through. We'll be thinking of you!

Sending the healing energy your way, Theresa. I had mine removed when I was 5 with local anesthesia. Before that I had pneumonia twice a year and after this surgery it did not happen anymore. Don't worry, this surgery is pretty simple and kids take it really well - my younger son had it too when he was 4 and we walked home right after the procedure.
I hope Miss Georgia feels much better after the surgery!

I had the same surgery when I was a little kid and quite frankly I remember it as being a fun experience!:) I got some cool toys and was allowed to eat a lot of ice cream.:) So I completely sympathize with Georgie and I am sure everything will go very smoothly. Sending positive thoughts your way!

Isabel

I'm thinking of you and your little ones, Theresa, but I know it's going to go perfectly and Georgie will be much better off when it's finished! Lots of ice cream and movies for you all.

Thinking of both your girls...let us know how it goes.

Aunty

Thinking of you all, this time next week it will be but a memory.

Louise

Thinking of you all I'm glad you are unstressed about it, not quite the same but I was a nervous wreck when my furbaby had a general anaesthetic to have some teeth out.
Just a thought, have you tried lavender oil to soothe Em? It's got to be 100% pure and I find 1 drop on my pillow or clothes is enough to relax me and help me sleep x

Thinking of you.

Theresa

trying to use net on my phone from hospital so no idea if this will work!

Surg went well, she was happy & smiley right til she went to sleep. Has been sleeping pretty much ever since. Has had a few drinks but throat was hurting & she was a bit distressed moe pain relief has just been given so she should be up to attempting an ice block soon. Looking forward to going homw tomorrow tho!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts - i am sure they are helping her immensely!!

Debbie

I'm so glad she's doing well.

Christie

Glad to hear she's through with it, and onto recovery!

Your girls' names are adorable!!!

I am glad to hear she is fine!

Patty

Glad to hear little sister is doing well--hope that big sis is relieved and less stressed for her now to!
Sounds like a Freezy party at Theresa's house is in order!

Katiepea

Poor little poppet and poor big sister. I'm glad it is all over now and the healing can properly start.

Maybe give Emma some icecream and jelly too for being such a wonderful and caring big sister. Hope you get some sleep tonight....

Brave, brave girl. Lots of huggs for the whole family.

Sally

I hope she recovers quickly and you get some rest too.

Thanks Everyone

We arrived home yesterday morning and Georgie is doing very well. When we picked Em up from school today a lot of the parents were asking me if she actually had her op because she seemed so well!! A bit of pain on waking, and as she nears the next dose of meds time, but other than that, she is doing really well. She even snored less last night than I can ever remember!! I thought she'd be swollen and still noisy for a few more days LOL

Em is slowly getting over the stress - she had a massive meltdown this morning, but we've just had a big talk and cuddle on the couch, and she is heaps better already - she needed to just talk, and the little possum just didn't get the chance over the past few days.

So, for now, I'm catching up on the washing and everything, and trying to get some sleep (sleeping in the hospital was a non-event!).

But I see there are lots of new goodies here that have me very excited, so hopefully tomorrow, I will get a chance to have a look at it all!!! (I'm very excited and if my eyes could actually focus properly I'd be doing it now LOL)

But thanks again for all your thoughts!

Great to hear your little miss Georgie is going so well. What a champion. Now don't forget to look after yourself too!!

Oh I'm so glad Georgie's feeling better and Em is less stressed x

biscuitsmom

I just saw this... So glad to hear both girls are doing well! I think a extra treat is in order for *all* of you!

Jonesy

Ditto what Biscuitsmom just said--I just saw this thread and I'm happy to read that Georgie made it through with flying colors (what an adorable name, BTW!). Now you can all relax a bit, and she will have such nice, deep sleeps from now on!

Good to hear!
