Hey y'all!! Sally is out of surgery and AWAKE!! All went well as far as we know! She's grumpy as a wet cat though. Poor baby. She was not happy to once more find an IV still attached to her hand. I believe what she said was "Don't they KNOW that they are supposed to take this out BEFORE I get awake? I'm a child..."
love that girl.
Thanks everyone so very much for the good thoughts and prayers. It helped. I know it did. She woke right up. The doctor was impressed!
Welcome back I so love reading your reports and look forward to reading more.
We are going to AKL in October and I love to hear about the different things
offered at the lodge.
Also so glad to hear Sally did well in her surgery.
Yeaaaahhhhh surgery is done!!! I hate the thought of any child having pain but at least she is done and all is well! Knowing just how kids are she will heal quickly and be in pain for a lot less time than any of us adults would be! Grumpy as a wet cat made me laugh out loud! That perfectly describes me every morning I have to wake up early! I am not a morning person!!
I'm excited about the next chapter but am willing to wait so you can go spoil miss Sally as she deserves for waking up and having the IV still in!
I never thought I'd say this, but the DIS can wait (but only if we have to). Take care of Sally, and we'll continue to send good thoughts, prayers and pixie dust your way.
thanks everyone! The surgeon said he got EVERYTHING. He sent samples to the pathology lab three times to make sure. Sally is quite a bit more swollen than last time. There is a slight indentation where the tissue was removed but the surgeon thinks that will go away as the swelling goes away. Poor baby. He made mention of "being able to fix that later should the indentation not go away..." He is a plastic surgeon after all. Sally was NOT hearing that. She got a little hysterical at the very mention of more surgery or anything that has to do with needles. I think her bravery is pert near used up at this point. Y'all can only imagine the eyebrow arch that the surgeon was dealt. In my opinion that moment was not the most appropriate to discuss such things.
poor baby. Sally was starving aside from being in pain. It did not help that she is on a liquid diet for the next few days. But daddy reminded her that ice cream is liquid! Grandma promised a big vanilla shake as soon as she was discharged. This did some good to Sally's foul mood! Doesn't ice cream make everything better?! I'm hoping that the pain meds will do their job double quick and Mistress Mary Quite Contrary will be off to dreamland!
I just wanted to say thanks once again to everyone for their good thoughts and prayers and for the cheers afterward. Y'all are a wonderful bunch of people and I'm very grateful to *know* all y'all!
