Harlie's Surgery 03-19-11

Harlie was so brave to get prepped for surgery...She was so brave getting her IV, it obviously was very painful and she did a good job!

Harlie was so brave that the Nurse Kelly gave her a Dora the Explorer board game. He was so nice and she loved that she got a Dora game.

Since we were at the 400 East campus because there was a miscommunication between doctors, they had to transfer Harlie to the new hospital on RiverRoad to the O.R. She was very scared! It was super sad.

The transporters were Jonathan and Jamie. They were very nice and tried to calm Harlie down because she was so scared. Hopefully we never have to experience this again.

Harlie did not like the fact that I could not ride in the back with her. She was really scared and I felt so bad. I guess it is policy now, that you can't ride in the back of the ambulance. It was very hard on me to not be able to ride with her. Well, I rode with her just in the front instead of the back.

Because Harlie was so scared Dr. Leitze dressed harlie's bunny in scrubs just like him so she wouldn't be scared. Doesn't bunny look so good. Harlie was crying a lot so the anesthesiologist gave Harlie some medicine that was going to make her loopy and eventually knock her completely unconsious. He gave her the medicine and it starting kicking in very quickly, Harlie sat straight up in the stretcher and siad, "I really just need some pretty princess shoes right now." The anesthesiologist said to Harlie, "But you already have really pretty princess shoes on." Harlie says, "Ya but I really just need some for my birthday." hahaha..Then the nurses and Dr.'s were trying to make her laugh and she randomly says, "Brownie" and then fell asleep. Then they took her into surgery. They came and got me after it was over to tell me how it went and it went perfect. They told me she was in recovery and that I could go back and see her. And this is what Harlie was looking like........---->


Recovery, Recovery, Recovery......She was on Morphine to help with the pain and she was sooooo sad and ornery. She was crying and trying to wake up at the same time, so it was weird for her. She was feeling weird and didn't really know how to react to it, so she just cried. It was really sad.

Trying to figure out just where she is...and not happy about it. Poor little girl.

Just signed the Discharge papers and she was ready to go home. The minute she woke up from surgery all she cared about and kept asking was where is my keegan at, where, where is my keegan at. I had to keep telling her he was staying with aunty Lona and she was so loopy she just couldn't grasp that and kept asking me where keegan was at. Poor girl had a very rough day. No food or water all day, no nap and it was just an awful day. So sad.

Here are the two pins that are holding her bones in place.

From another angel. She will have the pins and a hard cast on for 4-5 weeks and then if eveything looks good then they will remove the cast and the pins and she should make a full recovery. She will get her hard cast put on on Thursday the 24th and we will take pictures of it then, right now it is just splinted.

Harlie with all her gifts that family and friends and nurses gve her.....Balloons and Jelly Beans from NaNa and Grandpa, the Kitty cat and Flowers fron aunty Lona and uncle Eric, the Dora board game from Kelly the nice nurse, he thought Harlie did a good job getting prepped for surgery. The Pez dispencer, Rabbit Book, and pretty Braclet from Mommy and Daddy and the Black bear from Sysco, he thought that Harlie was super big and super brave and really liked her. Harlie got lots of gifts from everyone and she is doing great. Thanks to all our Family and Friends who checked up on her and had her in there thoughts and prayers. Thanks! Harlie is doing very well, in a little pain but that is to be expected. She is doing gret. Good job Harlie for being such a trooper and we all LOVE you very much.
