Today was the day that Olivia had her second nose surgery. We explained what was going to happen and she handled it just fine. We got to the hospital at 5:30 AM and she left for surgery at 7:30. The surgery was over at a little past 10:00. She went to recovery and then post-op. We made it home around 1:00. She never cried but then again if you had a team of people treating you like the queen you would be okay too. The staff at the hospital was so nice and went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. They thought it would make her feel better if they gave her beloved "Yellow Bunny" a bandage on his hand and a bandage on his nose just like she had. She freaked out when she saw Bunny's hand but she likes the one on his nose! :-) The doctor thinks that in a few years we may have to do another surgery but we will have to wait and see how this one heals. In the meantime she is home, relaxing in the big bed, and watching Disney movies!
Sitting pretty in bed!
Watching Cinderella and waiting for her surgery time.
Home in bed! The bandages are skin color so they don't look too bad but we can already see the major bruising underneath. She will most likely have two black eyes tomorrow if it's anything like the first surgery. There's Yellow Bunny's bandage too.
