Best friends from the start. 💕 11th March 2016

Smiles that brighten up my world! 💕🐑🐮

Today Gabriella had to go up to the hospital to get teeth extracted. Although she felt nervous she was incredibly brave, of course, with her sister right by her side. The nurses were all so welcoming when we arrived. They managed to get numbing cream on one hand (she refused the other) then went back to the waiting room where the girls played. After some time passed, a nurse brought Midazolam (it's a drug used before surgery or a procedure). However, Gabriella couldn't stand the taste, spat it out and began to heave. Even though her sister was upset Ava was still doing her best to make Gabriella smile. After another failed attempt at taking the Midazolam the nurses left us to allow Gabriella to calm down in a separate room where we both had a little nap. It was then time to put Gabriella on the bed to take her though to the procedure room. The anaesthetist began by attempting to insert a cannula into her hand however Gabriella became extremely distressed, therefore wouldn't stay still enough. After a few attempts he opted to use gas. He was brilliant with her and so patient. I'm not going to lie, it was hearbreaking watching her so distressed. The nurses and I held Gabriella as the anaesthetist held the gas. The whole time I kept counting to 20 over and over to keep her calm - and myself. As soon as she was sleeping I left the room and completely broke down but had to quickly get myself together and go see Ava. After what felt like forever I heard her crying. When I first saw her it looked as if her mouth was covered with blood and she looked so upset. It was so difficult to keep a brave face I just scooped her up and held her so tight. All the nurses were fantastic after she came round. We snuggled on a chair until she felt a little better, she wasn't up to eating her jelly and ice cream though. Since coming home she had been a wee trooper. Ava has been the best sister ever, continually asking if Gabriella is feeling alright, wiping her face and feeding her ice cream and soup. I'm so incredibly proud of both my girls today and always. 💕👸🏼👸🏽👸🏼
