Faythe underwent a minor surgery on Monday, 11 Jan 10.
She had a wart growing on her index finger and MIL brought her to the specialist last month. But since we were travelling, we didn’t arrange the surgery to be done in December. We also scheduled it when Daddy is around so that he can be there for his lil princess.
My nephew had plenty of warts removed the week before and it was a disaster in the OT. The medicine they gave to put him to sleep didn’t work and he almost turned the whole OT upside down.
As for Faythe, she’s really a brave girl. Few days before that, we’ve already told her that she’ll be going for the surgery and how the whole surgery would take place so that she’s well prepared.
We gave her the medicine to put her to sleep in the morning itself. And guess what, she knock off instantly. I also applied some cream on her finger to numb it. But upon arriving the Hosp (Sime Darby Specialist Centre Megah), she woke up.
trying to move around and sit up but she’s spinning all over the place.
We put her on the bed, but she refused to sit still and try to move about. We had to calm her down as she was complaining why she can’t sit straight and she shook her head to get a better vision. She’s drowsy basically.
Thank god, Daddy downloaded the Meatball Cartoon in his iphone, so we put that on for her to watch.
The procedure was done at 10am as the doctor was late. It was pretty quick.
I went in with her while she was still watching the cartoon. We further numb the finger with ice before injecting some medicine on the finger. That was the only point she screamed and complained painful. But I distracted her and ask her to continue watching the cartoon.
Then the doctor took the laser and just laser..remove remove..laser..remove remove..that’s it. It happened less than 3 mins!! And we are out of the OT the next minute.
Got home and she already sat up and start watching TV like nothing happened. She’s sure a tough girl :).

good girl faythe
eh, how come you gave her the meds at home? i thought normally the doc would give it to her so that she’ll be asleep during the procedure 
luckily faythe is ok when she sees the doctor doing the laser
