Samantha's Surgery

Samantha had her surgery yesterday for tonsils and adenoids.
We got to the clinic around 7am. They got us back to a room. The nurses talked to us about the surgery and the recovery. The anesthesiologist came in next and talked to us as well. After all the paper work and the talking, it was time for them to take Samantha back to the OR. She was so trusting! The anesthesiologist reached out for her hand and Samantha took it. They left the room and went down a hallway. As Seth, Mom and I watched her walk away from us she turned around and gave us a sad face. It was sooo sad. Mom and I balled our eyes out! :*( But at least Samantha wasn't crying herself. That would have been even harder. But I tell you what, the hardest thing in the world is to let you child just walk away from you knowing what is coming and you can't be there to comfort her.
The nurses took us a post op room where we waited for her. I think we waited a good 45-55 minutes.
The doctor finally came to talk to us and told us everything went great. WHEW!!
So now we waited until they brought Samantha. I heard Samantha's cry and here the nurses come carrying her. I took her and we sat in a chair with her on my lap. She was a little nauseous from the anesthesia. And she ended up throwing up once. :(
She was pretty scared and I'm sure in pain. She kept crying and saying that she wanted to go home. But before we could leave, she had to drink 10 ounces of fluids. She had a Popsicle, some ice cream and a lot of water. It took a couple of hours, but she finally had taken in enough fluids to go home.
We made it home and she seemed to be doing pretty good. She took a little nap. Then after she woke up she started feeling horrible. Wasn't wanting to eat and feverish.
I hope things get better for her! I feel so so bad! :(
