Orthodontic Appointment

This morning we went to Children's hospital once again and had Caidy's Palate impression made. The day started at roughly 4:30, with Caidy's last feed being finished at 2am. We were headed out of the house just after 5 and Caidy was already rooting around because she was hungry, it was so hard not to want to feed her when that is all she wanted! During the car ride I sat in the back and held a soother in her mouth, she can't get a suction so it gets pushed out by her tongue, and that held her over for a while. By the time we were at Children's she was sick of the soother and was not a happy camper! I feel so bad for the nurses who have to work with these hungry, tired kids just before surgery, it would be a hard and tiring job! In the waiting room we were seen by the orthodontist, Dr. Angelina Loo, and a Anithesiologist (sp?), who told us about what they were going to do and then they swept Caidy off while we sat in the waiting room. She was only gone for about 20 mins but it felt a lot longer and she was sound asleep when they brought her back to us. The nurse told us she had quite an attitude and was mad at everyone who came near her! That's our girl! :) she was so tired that I was only able to get about half an ounce of food into her and then she was out. The nurse told us that she would probably be ready for a good feed in an hour or so; it took Caidy till 2 this afternoon to be ready!! She was so mad that every time I went to give her a bottle she would freak out and, I'm sure, thinking we were filling her mouth with putty again! All is well though and tomorrow will be another adventure where we will go back and fit the plate and learn how to tape her lip. Oh the joys!! :)
