Lilly was 1st case this morning and the surgery started about 9:05 am. She actually went with the Child Life lady as they counted the "funny hats" (surgeon hats). It was just enough time for us to get some breakfast before they called us and told us she was done 9:50 am or so.
She has taken this whole thing very well and has been quite a trooper. She has been sleeping most of the day and has only woke up when it was time for her Morphine. She has her normal "don't touch me" attitude and I can already see her getting back to her normal self tomorrow. She is only able to eat a few ice chips (which she doesn't mind) during the day and possibly tomorrow we will be able to start foods again.
Dc. McGill told us not to worry if she doesn't have appetite for a few days. All is well now and I will let everyone know how things go.
