Today started off really positive and smoothly with Tilly waking up happy and having a bottle (which was the only food she could have until her scheduled time at 12:30). We made it to the hospital and she enjoyed all the fun toys and books they have there. But she did not enjoy all the other stuff like not eating or putting the drip in, or showering and washing her hair with special soap. She eventually fell asleep which took her mind off the hunger. After waiting past our scheduled time, they told us things would be delayed and just when we were ready, they came back and said it had to be cancelled due to an emergency! We are welcome back the first week of June! I can't believe this has happened in Sweden. Taxes are so high, perfection is a pre-requisite in every area but really hospitals are the same in every country. No money and bad organisation. She ate like a horse at least and got ice-cream, chocolate and a present all in one day for being such a trooper! Now husby is doing his civil duty and writing a big letter to the hospital supervisors and hoping for better practise for others next time. Emergencies are understandable but for something so routine like this with scheduled times there should be separate doctors taking care of those patients. Anyway trying not to get too worked up over it all - looking at it like a sign that today was not the right day :) Mostly I was glad to have my lovely man there for support and help, and couldn't have done it without him x
