The girl did great! Surgery lasted 2 hours and it was as routine as can be. The doctor didn’t even have to remove bone to release the cord. In recovery she quizzed the nurses about all of the monitors and tubes (she may be destined for a medical career). The only upsetting thing was that her thumb was not available…she made a compromise with the nurse that she would leave the IV alone if she could have her thumb.
Now we are in the room. It’s kind of like heaven. She’s eating applesauce, cookies and chips. Mommy even let her watch Barney! Mommy’s good friend brought the girl some chocolate pudding resulting in lots of smiles. Thanks for all of the prayers. So far so good!
This is wonderful Kristen and glad it went so smoothly – now the challenge begins with keeping her content with whatever she needs to do! How will they keep her still for recovery?
Way to go little Girl! Look forward to seeing you soon! Antie Deen & Uncle Doug
Hooray. We’ve been thinking of you all and praying for you. Your photos and words brought back so many memories of when ours underwent surgery at very young ages – both in Nairobi. Now for a full, complete, and quick recovery! Hang in there!
