Surgery Day........
Addison just now went back to the OR, it's
8:45 am Minnesota time. We probably won't get to see her till around 10:00 pm.
Morning started off good, Addison very calm and at peace. She's been ready for
this surgery for a long time. Unfortunately we had a set back in pre op
that
disrupted the calm and our nerves. They started preventive Levaquin and after about 10 minutes Addison started having trouble breathing, was coughing and holding her throat. She was having a hard time speaking, her throat was tightening up. I got the nurse and the doctor and they checked a pulse oxygen level which was dropping into the low 80s. They immediately stopped the Levaquin and gave her benadryl and an albuterol breathing treatment. After about 20 minutes her throat was loosening up and coughing was easing. Because of the medication reaction Bailey and Nana didn't get to come see Addison before surgery and her dad and I had to send her off scared. She had been so calm and ready but after having the reaction and trouble breathing she was now very scared and teary and that is how Thomas and I had to leave her. I'm am so heartbroken right now. I can deal with medical stuff, see it everyday, people have reactions, things happen, but the fact that it put her in a state of fear to enter into surgery is difficult to take. Please pray for Addison, the surgeons, nurses, assitants and everyone that is involved with her care. The Great Physician has her under his care but the human mom side of me is struggling.
