We arrived at the Sergey Center in plenty of time only to find out that our surgeon was going to be 40 minutes late. 40 minutes later I was told that we would have to wait another 40 minutes just to get into pre-op.
Somehow, Keira stayed Cheery the entire time. We walked, we strolled, of course most of the time she just wanted to be held and carried. Since mentally Keira is about 2, it makes sense.
Keira was great until we got into Pre-Op. She was so hungry, frustrated and once they put us in that little room that looked like the room in the ER – she LOST IT! She was scared to death.
Keira stated kicking and hitting, biting herself, screeching like a wild animal. The nurse told me I could let her run around the small room, but Keira said UP so I picked her up off the bed. Keira then bit herself, then did her vampire bite on me. Keira knows, if you bite Mommy, Mommy will put you down as a punishment – she didn’t like that and turned toward the nurse and did one of her banshee screeches.
The nurse, scared out of her mind, leaped from her little swirly chair, tipped the bedside table she was using, papers flew everywhere and the nurse flew out the door, closing it behind her screaming “I‘m going to get anesthesia!!!”
Another nurse and ‘Anesthesia’ came in right in. I’d find out later that both were very nice woman and Keira cornered them. I’m not kidding – Keira was now taking hostages. Once Keira had the Anesthesiologist and the nurse cornered, she went for the surgeon – this was a VERY small room and that tall man moved fast – I grabbed Keira and together we force a drop of this pink stuff into Keira’s mouth. The remainder of the pink stuff covered the rest of us.
As I looked up, I saw the original nurse standing outside the glass, holding the door shut. That woman was just terrified.
I don’t know what was in that pink stuff, but it made Keira high in seconds. They gave Keira an anesthesia mask to play with so she wouldn’t be scared when it was used on her and she looked at it with crossed eyes and giggled – Yup! High as a Kite, but she was no longer taking hostages.
2 hours later – it was over and they came to RUSH me back to Keira who was being held down by 3 nurses. And of course, when mommy picked her up, she calmed down and fell asleep for another hour. One of the PostOp nurses had to stay with us, she was funny.
The PostOp nurse told me when she got report on Keira she was told about the biting and that Keira didn’t have any teeth extracted. The nurse said her first thought was “Great. So she still has her weapons!”
