J-E-L-L-O

I completely forgot about how much Natalie wanted to eat Jello yesterday until the conversation we had a few minutes ago (she asked many times if she could eat Jello yet).

Me: So, do you remember anything from after your surgery yesterday?
Nat: Yes, she gave me orange Jello, and I didn't like it, I wanted red Jello. Can I have some red Jello right now?
Me: Nope, we don't have any. Do you remember anything else?
Nat: Not really, it was very fast. That medicine tasted nasty then I was tired, but I don't remember falling asleep. I don't even remember him putting the breathing mask on! Or getting back into bed! It worked so much that I can't remember anything!
Me: Thats a good thing!

I keep remembering random things that I don't want to forget...they grow so quickly and move on to whatever is next, I want some record of the things they do and say.

She kept asking over and over if she had "already had the operation." I don't remember anyone saying operation, but thats what she kept saying. Although she kept asking for the IV to come out, she really wanted to keep the wrap (I'll post pictures eventually). When the nurse finally took it out, Nat was sure to ask. It made me laugh 'cause the nurse seemed taken back by this. It was her souvenir, I didn't see anything wrong with it! Her mind seemed set on three things; to make sure she was done with the surgery, to get that pesky IV out, and most importantly she wanted red Jello!!!
