Hi ladies,
we're back home, just gave Rebecca a quick bath and jumped on here lol!
What a long day-in hospital at 8.40am (was supposed to be 8 but we slept in lol) and she didnt get taken til 4.45. She had been nil by mouth for food for nearly 24 hours and water/milk since 6am this morning-it wasn't an easy task trying to explain to a 21 month old she wasn't allowed food/drink.
Anyway we took her along to theatre-she was gased in the end as cause she is so young it was impossible to get a vein in her hand-poor mite had the magic cream on for 6 hours too!
Anyway Daddy held her in the anaesthetic room-the room immediately before theatre, they put strawberry lip balm round the mask as she was screaming when it went near her, it was to disguise the smell!
I was crying, they were holding the mask on she was screaming Daddy, Daddy, Mummy (daddy always come first) then what felt like minute but was seconds she flopped. I found that sight pretty traumatising-watching my little Princess out cold.
Anyway we went for a coffee for half an hour then collected her in the recovery room-I expected her to still be out but she was up and fine but when she seen us - Daddy, Mummy lip sore!
She was taken back to the ward, had to wait on her eating and drinking, got out at 7.30pm.
She is still grizzly but to be expected. We seem some poor kids in her ward-babies/toddlers with horrific burns from kettles, chip pans etc.
Thanks for all the comments, I will ask my lovely Yvanne tomorrow to pload before and after pics.
The plastic surgeon said she will be left with a scar, and it will take up to 18 months for the redness/prominence to settle.
A wee question-they said she might have to stay off nursery next week (thursday is her last day for 8 months cause Im on mat leave) could I blag it with the nursery and say the accident happened in your care I want re-imbursed for the 2 days next week? it's £80!x

Hope her wee lip isn't sore for long. Reading your side of it although breif making me all emotional i can only imagine how you'd feel at the moment.
As for the nursery costs - erm forget asking demand it!!

Thank goodness everything went ok, I have no idea how i would be able to cope not letting Olivia have food or drink - you must've had such a tough day.
Yes I do think you should try and negotiate the last two weeks pay at the nursery. I would call and speak with the manager and re-emphasis how traumatic the expereince has been and how she wont be able to go in next. week.

Ladies she does feel better-the little madam has been driving me banana's today, and because of what's she has just been thru I have been letting her away with loads.
Isn't it so amazing how quickly kids bounce back? I am shocked!xxx
Her lip looks like it has one almighty cold sore on it but its the stitches and redness/swelling around it. Eeeww.
