Hickman Port

Today was a very long day, both for Bailey and Mom & Dad.  We started off with no food or drink after midnight.  All we heard all morning long was "bagel.... egg's"!  I had to keep telling her "lets tell the nurse", "they're getting it".  We headed down to the OR only to hear that our surgery got pushed back.  So two more hours went by with no food or drink.  Luckily Bailey was occupied with Grammy, Sister, Mom and Dad.  She passed the time with coloring, putting stickers on her breathing mask, then on her belly, and rubbing strawberry chap stick all over her face.  She then fell asleep with mom next to her side until it was time to take her into the operating room.  I got to go back with her and then cried all the way out.  It's so hard leaving your baby in someone else's care.  Brett and I waited and waited until we were paged to let us know her surgery was a success and her hickman catheter was now in place.  What a relief!  It was now time for those long awaited bagel and eggs!
