Waking up at 4:30 in the am and driving all the way across phoenix (takes about an hour at the minimum given traffic) is something I wish we could do without.
Yesterday, we did just that. Of course Tony and I got no sleep....not because we were nervous but it was just one of those damn nights neither of us could sleep. I hate that. We got sleepy Riley up and ready to go.
We get lost.....and finally found our way to the outpt surgery center at 6:45 with his surgery being at 7am. We weren't too concerned knowing that these things always seem to start late anyways. We got checked in, talked with the nurse who then took us back to preop where we met with the anesthesiologist and surgeon.
The surgery was easy, it was just to fix his tear duct that they believe was affected because of his cleft. It literally took 5 minutes and the dr was out to tell us everything went well before tony could finish syncing his ipad to their wireless network. I figured this surgery would be no problem but as soon as the nurse walked away with him, my eyes filled with worried tears. Knowing we have to go through this so many more times just sucks.
Riley felt fine after we got him in the car. Thankfully for us, it is a painless surgery for the most part. We never had to give him any pain meds though they have him rectal tylenol during the surgery. He was fine although his eye kept bleeding which is normal. It looked very halloweenish.
Today he is back to normal.....except for the tooth he had fell out. We have no idea why but we are thinking it wasn't a normal tooth. We just got our referral to the dentist and will be taking the tooth in for inspection. Hopefuly nothing else is wrong!
