Fill number 2

Last week, when Addi went in for her fills, it was business as usual. Outpatient check in - normal. Pre-op vitals - normal, except that it was the same nurse as the week before, and she recognized us. We started up a friendly conversation, then she took us to the pre-op waiting room, and said, "see you next week." The child-life specialists came and visited us, and again recognized us - same general conversation. We had an anestheseologist that we had has previously, but not in the last 4 weeks, just one that I recognized, and I assurred him that he had done fabulously with Addi. I waited in the surgery waiting room, as I normally do, and was only there about 25 minutes when the phone rang, and they called for me. The doctor hadn't even been in to let me know how things had gone - no worries, I knew we were on the same page. Tolerable PACU time, with the same nurse as the week before. She recognized us as well, and took great care of Addison. She walked us over to the recovery area for another short stay, saying when she left, "See you next week, Addi." New nurse in recovery- there has to be one every visit. Addi kept insisting that it was time to go home, but wouldn't drink anything. No drink, no release. I finally told her that as soon as her apple juice was gone, we could go. So, Addi picked up her cup and downed the whole cup. She handed it back to me and said, "I want to go home now." About 10 minutes later, we were on our way. Addi complained most of the rest of the day that her bubbles hurt, but a little motrin worked on that. And by Thursday, she was back to normal. Another fill a success, but is it a good thing that they are starting to recognize us?
