Chapter 71 Izzy's rib surgery
Jake's POV
The next day I was getting the kids ready for the day as baby Jay was ready. As I went into my daughter's room, I immediately helped her to get dressed due to her leg.
"Thanks, daddy!" Princess said to me.
"Anytime, sweet cheeks!" I said to her while went to grab baby Jay and the three of us went down starts as Princess was using her crutches to help her move around.
"Good morning, guys!" Cubby said to us as he was eating cereal.
"JAKE!" Izzy called me from our bedroom.
"Coming Izzy." I said to her as I handed baby Jay to baby Jay.
As I went into our bedroom, I saw Izzy holding her left side.
"Izzy, dies it really hurt that bad?" I asked her.
"Yes!" Izzy said to me as I saw tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Okay, Izzy calm down, I think the ice has melted. I'll get you a new ice pack." I said to her as I removed the melted ice pack and threw it in the trash.
Once I went into the freezer, I grabbed a fresh new cold on and brought it to Izzy who was still laying on her right side as she was supposed to by the doctor until her left side is fixed and heald up. Bit it would take a couple of week for that to happen.
"Here you go Izzy!" I said to her as I placed the new ice pack on the right side of her rib cage.
"Thanks Jakey!" Izzy said to me.
"You're welcome." I said to her.
"Hey, Izzy what do say if we planned a Christmas party at the dance studio next month." I suggested to her.
"That's a great idea Jake." Izzy said to me.
"Thanks! I do come up with great ideas." I said to her.
"What are you two talking about?" Cubby asked us as he came with baby Jay I'm his arms and princess following him with her crutches.
"Oh we're talking about Christmas!" I said to him.
"We haven't got into Thanksgiving yet Daddy." Princess said to me.
"Yeah but Thanksgiving isn't important." I said to her as Izzy slapped me across the face.
"Jake, Thanksgiving is important." Izzy said to me.
"Okay, geez. But did you have to hit me across the face?" I asked her.
" Yeah, I did." Izzy said to me as baby Jay was giggling and clapping his little hands as he was pointing at me.
"Hey, don't point your little finger at me baby Jay." I said to him.
"Jake, he's only a baby." Cubby said to me.
"I know that Cubby don't remind me." I said to him.
"Okay calm down Jake." Cubby said to me.
So, as Cubby and left Izzy to take care of the kids, the two of us went to the dance studio and started to talk about how Izzy's surgery is tomorrow.
"Jake, you think Izzy will make a full recovery after her surgery tomorrow?" Cubby asked me.
"Of course she will little bro. even though it is a little scared about it, she will make it I mean it's only her ribs not her heart." I said to him.
" I know, I know but what Izzy doesn't make a full recovery before the Nationals even start this coming July of next year?" Cubby asked me.
" Then at least we have replacements like Carly and Sofia." I said to him.
" Yeah those girls are nice, and pretty." Cubby said to me.
" Yeah, they are." I said to him.
As Sofia came, I started to teach her all of Izzy's dance moves for the duet.
After Sofia got the dance, we started to do our ballet duet with shall We Dance by imagination movers.
The next day around 5:30, we all got up so we can be at the hospital in time go get Izzy ready for her surgery that starts at nine. As I was getting the kids ready, Cubby was eating cereal while Izzy was watching TV till I was fine with the kids.
Once I got the kids ready, for the day, Izzy, Cubby and I along with Princess and baby Jay we went straight to the hospital.
As we arrived, at the hospital, it was only 7:00am as I was registering Izzy and checking her in while she was standing next to me, I also asked Izzy questions.
"Izzy, what is your full name?" I asked her.
"Isabella Rose Green, Jake you know that." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy, it's for the paper I'm doing." I said to her.
"Oh, yeah sorry." Izzy said to me.
"it's okay. Do you have any allergies?" I asked her.
"Yes!" Izzy said to me as I checked the box.
After I checked the paper over one last time, everything was perfect. So, I placed it on the table then Izzy and I took a seat next to Princess and Cubby who was holding baby Jay on his lap.
"Izzy Rose Green!" Dr. Lynch called her as we all went into his office.
Once we all entered Dr. Lynch's office, a nurse placed a wristband on Izzy's wrist that says her name and birth date. Dr. Lynch then started checking her height and weight. After that Izzy was given a hospital gown to change into.
As we all entered room 350 as Izzy was placed in her hospital bed, dr. Lynch then started to check heart rate, breathing rate, oxygen saturation, and temperature. Izzy was then given a oximeter that Dr. Lynch placed on her finger. after he left, the anaesthesiologist came in to visit her first as he started to ask Cubby and I questions about Izzy.
" has Izzy suffered any recent illnesses or symptoms?" The anaesthesiologist asked us.
"No." I said to him.
"Okay. does Izzy have any allergic reaction to food or drink?" The anaesthesiologist asked us.
"Yes, she's allergic to JalapeƱos." Cubby said to him.
"Did Izzy have anything to eat?" The anaesthesiologist asked us.
"The last time she had anything to eat, was the night before. other than that, she didn't have anything this morning." I said to him.
The anaesthesiologist then started to do a breathing exam on Izzy by placing his stethoscope on her back to listen to her breathe from her mouth, throat, heart, and lungs. The anesthesiologist then placed his set the scope to check her heart as well.
"Okay, so Izzy may need to have sedation before surgery. her rib cage the surgery will be in the operating room. and the anesthesia will be given either by oxygen mask or medicine through her IV. after her 12-hour surgery is over, you will meet her in the recovery room. she will be provided a choice of flavors of masks like strawberry, raspberry, grape, cherry or bubble gum." The Anesthesiologist said to us.
Now Mr Hutchinson, before you give us permission to allow Izzy to have anesthesia, there will be possible side effects of anesthesia like nausea, vomiting, or sore throat." The anesthesiologist said to me as I signed the papers to give them permission for the anesthesia.
"Izzy, you will be allowed to bring one toy with you to the operating room and making sure the item is there when you wake up. The anesthesiologist said to her as the surgeon came in.
"Hello, Ms. Green!" the surgeon said to her.
"I will be your surgeon, during the surgery today. So during your surgery, I will be placing a marker where the surgery is going to be." the surgeon said to her.
" also, either Mr Hutchinson or cubby can go with you to the operating room until you fall asleep to make you less nervous.
"Jake, Cubby, I'm nervous about my surgery." Izzy said to us.
"Izzy calm down you're going to be okay." Both Cubby and I said to her as a nurse came in to give Izzy some liquid to drink to make her laugh or giggle.
after Izzy drunk her drink, she felt more calm before her surgery.
"Now Izzy, before we take you to surgery, whoever is going with you will need to wear scrubs, hairnet, foot covering, and a mask." the surgeon said to her as she pointed to me.
"Great! Your boyfriend's coming with you." the surgeon said to her as she gave me the stuff to put on.
Five Minutes Later...
as I was wearing the stuff and Izzy was already in the operating room while I was with her, she was lifted off the hospital bed and carried her to the operating table.
"okay everyone this is Izzy Rose green should be taking the surgery, and today surgery is about fixing her left side of her ribs." the nurse said to everyone while I was holding Izzy's hand tell let her know that I'm here with her.
As they started to place all the monitors to provide a safe surgery which includes ECG leads a heart monitor lead on her chest and a blood pressure cuff. they then placed a bubble gum mask on her face.
"Can you smell the bubble gum? we want you to breathe through the anesthesia mask." the anaesthesiologist said to her as Izzy was trying to wiggle about while taking the mask off. But the anesthesiologist had it under control.
As I was still with her, Izzy fell asleep while holding your hand tighter as it was scary for me to see her like that. once Izzy was completely unconscious, I kissed her forehead and left the operator room so they can do there job.
Surgeon's POV
After Mr Hutchinson left, we then started the IV while we then placed protective tape on her eyes to keep them shut.we didn't place the breathing team down home mouth and into her windpipe as that was taped over it to keep it secure. we then placed blue sheets over her. as I turned on the operating lights, we started the operation.
Cubby's POV
meanwhile while Izzy was in surgery, Jake is Princess baby Jay and I were really nervous. mostly baby Jay was confused about all of this.
"Mama? Dada." baby Jay asked Jake.
"Baby Jay, Izzy's in surgery right now." Jake said to him as Jay started to cry.
"Way to go Jake." I said to him.
"Baby Jay please don't cry, it's okay, it's okay, she's going to be okay calm down." We all said to him as he continued to cry.
Jake's POV
as I started to give updates about Izzy on group chat that Troupe A has gotten, Lisa and stormy were also being updated about Izzy.
"So, Izzy's in surgery for 12 hours." I said to them.
"12 hours? That's a long time." Austin said to me.
"Tell me about it." I said to him.
as I started to get worried about Izzy, all I could think about was Izzy. and that I wish she was here with me are the kids, and Cubby.
"I wish that I have never kicked her in the ribs Jake." Cubby said to me.
"Cubby, I'm going to take the kids to the gift shop to get Izzy to get well soon present." I said to him as I took the kids to the gift shop.
Surgeon's POV
12 hours later...
Near the end of Izzy's surgery, we turned down the anesthesia after the surgery. the protective tape was removed from her mouth and her eyes. And any extra saliva, was sucked up on her mouth.
"Ms. green, we are done with your operation." The anaesthesiologist said to her as she starts to take a deep breath.
Five minutes later...
After we told the recovery nurse about Izzy, we placed her bed on the wall as the surgeon went to tell her family.
Jake's POV
as Princess was playing patty cake with her little brother Jay, the surgeon came in.
"Izzy's surgery has been a complete success! she was really brave during the surgery. But, she's still asleep at the moment due to still having the anesthesia in her." The surgeon said to us as we went to go see Izzy with the kids.
once we arrived in the recovery room with the kids, and saw Izzy, she became more awake even though she's still asleep. After 20 minutes she sat up and she was given some juice as her toy was still with her.
"Izzy you are so brave today during your surgery. I'm very proud of you." I said to her as I gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"okay we were able to attach all her ribs back in place. her recovery will last for 2 weeks, and she won't need to rest enjoying her recovery time." The surgeon said to us as Dr. Lynch came in while the surgeon left.
"How you did the surgery go?" Dr. Lynch asked us.
"the surgeon said to us that Izzy was really brave, and that they were able to put her ribs back together." I said to him.
"That's fantastic! how are you feeling Izzy?" Dr Lynch asked her.
"I feel okay, I still feel a pain though." Izzy said to him.
"Will give you some pain medication for that okay." Dr Lynch sent to her as Izzy nodded her head.
"oh that reminds me, the kids and I went to the gift shop and got you some get-well stuff." I said to her as I placed a book on her bed.
"Jake what's this?" Izzy asked me.
"it's a new and it's called The sleeping Princess. Hey don't look at me Princess pick it out." i said to her.
"I love it anyway." Izzy said to me as she kissed Princess on her forehead.
"Baby Jay got you a buzzard. so whenever you need us you need us, just push that button."'8 said to her.
"Did you get me anything Jake besides the kids?" Izzy asked me.
"I got you a beautiful necklace." I said to her.
