Slurred Speech

I don't really have time to blog, as I am leaving on a long trip tomorrow to PERU! I am couch-bound for the time being though, because Carolina was put under this morning for dental work, and is slow to come out of it. The day started at 7:00am, which was good because CC couldn't eat or drink...which was really hard for her. The first thing she does every morning is have a bowl of cereal. At the dentist, the anesthesiologist gave her a shot in her bum while she was being distracted by a box of small toys (she picked a heart slinky). It was so weird to watch her get glazed over within 30 seconds. Her unnaturally large eyes looked even bigger as she looked around. She was instantly floppy...and then taken to the back for the IV sedation. The dental work went well. She had LOTS of cavities....(don't let your kids have milk bottles until they are 3!) She was so funny on the way home. They had instructed me to lay her down in the van buckled up...she was moaning and writhing around and trying to crawl around. At one point she rolled down the back window. I kept trying to calm her down and talk to her but she was out of it! The first thing she said when she finally did speak...(okay, imagine her voice like drunk girl from Saturday Night Live) "Mom do you know why I am so sad?....My bum hurts, they shot my bum." Later she said "I feel squiggly. Why does Max and Ruby look so weird?" Now she is more coherent, but is quite mad and demanding. I wish I knew how to help her. Only time will do the trick. Meanwhile, I'm leaving to Peru tomorrow and have SO MUCH to do! Oh well. That will have to wait. I sure love my little Jonesy.
