Kaitlyn's Procedure

Wednesday Kaitlyn had a colonoscopy and endoscopy under general anesthesia. I already sent out an update about our nightmare experience so I am not going to duplicate myself on here. The most important thing is everything looked ok and we will get the final biopsy results this coming week hopefully. I am also happy to say that 2 people from Highland Park Hospital, the Head of the Operating Room and someone above her called to apologize on Thursday. I spent 45 min on the phone with each of the ladies. They already had meetings about our situation and are working on making changes so this doesn't happen to anyone else! It also helped that our surgeon was beyond upset and also spoke with them before they talked to me. Here is Kaitlyn when we arrived. They gave her a cute panda which she has slept with every night since.
Kaitlyn loves to pick her "mask flavor" for when they put her to sleep. Shes a pro now:) Some of her favorites are banana, strawberry and for this procedure she choose pineapple. Here she is playing with her mask before she went to the OR.

This was 2 hours after she came out of the OR. It took her over an hour to wake up from the anesthesia in the first recovery room. Then they moved her to this 2nd recovery room. She still had the iv in and the nurses were able to get it out without her noticing which was great since she is terrified of them. So happy to have this in our past!!
Now working on figuring out what is causing all of her horrible tummy pains:(

Colin made Kaitlyn a Get Well Card. He even picked out a gift for her from the store with Auntie Kelly. If you look closely he asked to put google eyes on The Little Mermaid:) So cute! Thanks to everyone who spoiled Kaitlyn that day!! :)
