Eunice's operation day was on Sept 1st at 11:00am. She couldn't have food after midnight and only water or apple juice before 8:00am. After 8:00am, no food or drink for Eunice.
When we arrived the BC Children Hospital, Eunice remembered the place that she had been here before. Then she cried and said that she didn't want to go in. Just 1 minute later, she was OK.
Being in the waiting room was not easy for Eunice. She looked around and and around. I brought a coloring activities book and color pencils for her to color. Besides, there was a TV game for the kids to play. We spent about 1 1/2 hours in here.
Eunice was using a new method of "sleeping" by putting a mask instead of using the needle. I could go into the operation with her until she fell asleep. Thanks God about that because Eunice kept on asking me whether I could go into operation room or not. By using the new method, I could go into with her to talk to her so that the nurses could put on the mask and let her fell asleep. It was much easier for both of us.
After 6-7 hours staying in hospital, we could go home.
Isaac was in grandma's house for the whole day and behaved excellent. He had dim sum with grandma; played toys with his cousins; took showers with his aunt; had dinner with grandma. He was excited to come back home and gave me a big big squeeze hug.
This was the first day.
