The Latest...

Just wanted to let everyone know that Breagha's surgery went well yesterday. Surgery wise, it was good. Breagha wise, ahhhhh, a little stressful at times! As Darryl said, she was like a heroin addict coming down from a high!!
First, they had to give her some medication to make her droswy, just so they put her under...she didn't want to cooperate for anyone and 3 of us had to hold her down to put her to sleep. This was AFTER she was given the medication to make her drowsy!! She's stubborrrrrrrn!
The surgery was quite quick and I was back in the recovery room with her before I knew it. Everything went well. The doctor said the hernia was quite big and she probably had it since she was born. He did both sides - the other side was just getting started so it was good that we had the surgery done now.
After the surgery we had to stick around until Breagha would eat and have something to drink. BUT, she was so angry that there was a little IV in her hand that she kept trying to pull it out. (Just like her Mom!!) And she was still out of it while she was trying to pull it out so her eyes would be closed and she would start to fall over. She wouldn't give in and just eat! She was like a totally different person and I was starting to get a bit upset. The doctor came over to tell me that Breagha isn't herself and not to blame her...that I'm doing everything right...that is the drugs...blah blah. It was upsetting to see her like that!
So, after about an hour and a half of us trying to calm her down and get her to eat, the nurse gave her more medicine and she fell asleep. When she woke back up, she was more like herself and started to eat. Thank God! I thought we would be there forever!
She was pretty sore yesterday but seems to be much better this morning. :)

Thanks for all the "best wishes" from everyone!! Appreciate it! She's on the mend!
