Anesthesia Pre-op???

Okay so we went to Children’s Hospital in downtown Birmingham to meet with Yaya’s doctor and do the anesthesia pre-op paperwork. We were there for 3 hours and we never got to talk with anesthesia…hmmmm. Oh and we got to wait about 40 minutes for the ENT to show up so he could bill us for doing NOTHING. Now I’m not usually so pessimistic about doctors but with the ENT I’m a little cranky. We had already met with him before and they determined Yaya had fluid in her ears and that she had too much wax in her ears to be able to see into the ear. We had discussed tubes and that we had no questions and were very experienced with this surgery because of our other children. But he came in and stuck his otoscope in her wax filled ears only to declare the same thing…he couldn’t see anything due to wax, and he left all in about 45 seconds…literally. So what was up with that? I was so put out by this. We did get to talk to Dr. Grant and I got more clarification as to what he will actually be doing in the process of the lip repair. We spent about 20 minutes with him and that was good. We finally were released to anesthesia and when we checked in the nurse came over to me and said, “Sweetie, if you have to wait for me to type all this in and ask you all these questions you will be here forever. Take that baby home. I will call you on your cell phone and interview you later.” After 3 hours of entertaining Yaya in a little room…I was very thankful for this statement. So we left our anesthesia pre-op appointment without having spoken with anesthesia. Nice. But I got some cute, natural looking pictures of her later that day…so that is blog worthy…
