Carlie's Surgery Day

So here are some more photos from Carlie's big surgery day back on September 11th. We had to be at the hospital at 6:45 AM - way too early! She had her own room before and after surgery. While she was waiting for surgery they gave her the green care bear and a care bear DVD to watch. I think we have watched that DVD at least a million times.
Well, Carlie was happy until they took her away to the operating room without mom and dad. She was pretty scared and didn't know what was happening so she started to cry, which of course made mommy cry (what a baby). When she returned to her room she was really out of it. She also threw up everywhere. It was super sad. After a few hours with no throwing up and being able to drink some liquids she took a ride in the wheelchair out to the car. When we got home she put on her favorite Christmas PJs, complete with robe and slippers. She even got to steal mommy's chair (mommy must love her!)! Then for the next week or so she got to eat all the Rocks (Dananimals yogurt) and pudding she wanted. The first week was NO FUN AT ALL!! She is doing better now, except her voice is a little strange. The doctor said we would not notice a difference in her sleep apnea for about a month so I am really looking forward to October 11th!!!!
