She was still in her honeymoon phase so her blood sugar was constantly dropping. I just emphasized that to them and it went well.<br />I was almost more nervous about her getting the IV because when she was dx she freaked out and hyperventilated and was still talking about how bad it was 8 months later. So for the endoscopy they were great and gave her something by mouth (versed maybe?) that totally calmed her down and she didn't even care when they gave her the IV.<br />Good luck with the upcoming surgery!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314630344481444551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-56807954624616002142010-10-10T20:19:51.280-07:002010-10-10T20:19:51.280-07:00No surgery for us either.

I was so stressed, but everything went well. Wendy is right about him being first... they tried to set Justin's later in the day and I had to pitch a hissy, but they got him in first after I did :)<br /><br />Keep us posted on how it goes.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192247387107228743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-81416001791277564932010-10-10T07:45:21.722-07:002010-10-10T07:45:21.722-07:00Great job on the A1c!

He should be scheduled early, if not first, of the day...and they'll have an IV to treat lows if needed. <br /><br />Sugar has had anesthesia 3 times since dx -- once for dental work and twice for endoscopies. We haven't had any issues and I'll pray it goes just as well for you guys!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.com
