Surgery Update - 3pm

First of all - we have now established that the surgery department has a "one size fits all" approach to diapers . . . goodness gracious that thing is HUGE . . .

We are all settled in our room now. We have a private room with a small TV and DVD player, our own bathroom complete with tub and shower and a little outdoor patio that I believe we share with the neighboring hospital room.

There is a chair that folds out to a bed and the second parent (if applicable) can bunk in a parent's unit down the hall. Of course everyone is friendly and helpful and we are getting wonderful care.

I know what you are thinking . . . . where did that crib come from?? Tim Burton's "You think your childhood was hard" Emporium?

I commented to the nurse when we are getting organized, "I bet this crib is REAL easy to clean . . ." She got the point and shot me an embarrassed look so I knew it was safe to drive-on-in . . . "Because I can't think of another reason why anyone would want a crib like this . . . "

"Yeah, we pressure wash them between patients . . ." She was kidding, of course.

She explained that the hospital was at capacity right now and that she tried to find a different crib but they are all full. She did mention that we were given a private room due to our situation and that some patients did not get private rooms.

We said "The crib looks great!"
