Today was surgery day. When it was our turn around 9AM, Dr. Plotnik had already completed 3-4 infant surgeries. Jasmine was pretty upbeat, and I am told she entertained the doctors and nurses in the pre-surgical area. I can only assume she was singing and dancing. The surgery itself took about 45 minutes. Every time she would start to wake up, she would start screaming and try to rub/scratch her swollen eyes and face:(. We had to keep giving her Demerol- which meant another 20 minute wait each time. We finally got to go home after everyone else had left long before us. I hope she sleeps for the next 24 hours. No glasses for one week, then in one month we will know if she can stop wearing glasses.
