Pre-Op Appointment

Today we had a pre-op appointment at Childrens Hospital. We had to get Cass up bright and early but she was a good sport about it. We met with a nurse and had her weighed. She is a peanut! 30 inches long and 17 lbs;6 oz. Had her blood pressure, temp and her blood oxygenation level taken. All were good. She cried and screamed the whole time, she just does not like doctors and nurses, I don't know how they were able to hear her heart beating with their stethoscope with her screaming.

They also told us what to expect on surgery day. I have already gone thru this once before so I know the recovery room is not rainbows and puppies :o)

They also had to take some blood from her. This was so hard to watch. They couldn't find a vein and once the needle was in they had to adjust it a couple of times. Cass had huge tears rolling down her face, screaming, her face was all red and she was getting sweaty. The blood is needed in case something happens in surgery where they need to give her blood. They have bands on both her legs that have to stay there until surgery is over
