Hi Friends.
Lilly did just great yesterday!! She came through the surgery fine....it was the coming down of the anestesia (SP??) that was a problem. She is such a little pistol....she did NOT like having an IV in her hand at all. She was trying to pull it out, screaming, and hitting all the nurses. It was embarrassing and heart-wrenching at the same time. She has a small wrap around her right hand and a few stitches. The wrap stays on for a few more days and stitches for a couple of weeks. Something funny though, she was given a "cocktail" before taking her back into surgery, and she was hilarious. She was smiling at the ceiling, babbling, and laughing. It was cute to watch. If Lilly ever chooses to drink in her future....when she is oh, let's see, 35, I know she will be a "happy drunk"!!! Just like her mommy.
Thanks for all the support, prayers, thoughts, and personal stories. They helped a lot. Can't wait to meet everyone!! By the way, I will post some pics from yesterday's "cocktail time"!!!
Kelly, Jim, and Lilly
