Then we went to play with friends to keep OUR minds off the fact that food was not an option. Came home to find that someone loves us:) we got some care packages that were a life saver. Included was a cute coloring activity for Bree to keep her distracted before surgery. And then of course treats for me and for after
We talked a ton about what was going to happen and that doctors are nice. I even got a mask from my pediatrician so we practiced putting it on so she wouldn't freak out when they put her to sleep. Then I get to the hospital and find out I can't even hold her while they put her to sleep because the gases are no good for pregnant people...... WHAT- freak out #1
And we survived:)
Worst part- the hour before surgery Bree kept asking for a "chicken taco" and a "roll up" (don't judge on how much we eat out:)) it broke my heart:(
Then when she woke up she was beside herself. Screaming like a crazy person. And that is not my Bree. Freak out #2.
They diagnosed her with an esophagus disease and possibly something funky with her stomach. We will know more Friday.
All in all two freak outs- not too bad:) Bree was a trooper and glad we know whats wrong:) Poor thing:(

Wow only a few freak outs. I would have had like 10!! I hope Bree is feeling ok, poor thing. She seems like a trooper though.
Poor Bree. Rowan just had five stitches put in her cheek and I had about three freak-outs so I think you were doing great. I hope you find out what is wrong and they can fix it fairly painlessly and quickly. I miss you!
Holy cow! I'm so sorry you guys had to go through that! We've been through a similar thing with Brinley's ear tubes and it's so hard not letting them eat anything before their surgery. Seriously breaks your heart! That's so sweet that she was asking for a chicken taco ; ) I'm sure Brinley would've asked for McNuggets since we have them at least once a week ; )
Glad you guys made it through and that they know what's wrong with her. Hopefully she can start getting better now. Also, what a thoughtful friend to send you care packages! Such a cute idea ; )
Awww poor little girl! No food-that would be my #1 freak-out followed by multiple melt downs throughout the day! Good thing she has such a strong mamma to help her be brave! I miss you too! Maybe Lora should get her butt down here from Washington and see us! :)
Poor Bree
Mel, I totally feel your pains! Jeffrey was scheduled for a surgical procedure at 10:30am and after thinking about how HARD it would be to starve him until then I finally rescheduled to a 7:30am! What troopers you and Bree really are. Just hang in there with the "esophagus disease."
