Surgery 10/13

Well today started with us having to be at the hospital at 6 am for checking. By 7:45 we had met with the surgeons and anesthesiologist. They took her back and they let me stay with her until she feel asleep. From there Joe and I waited for what seemed to be forever. About an hour and a half or so after the surgery started it was over. We met with the neurosurgeon and plastic surgeon,they said the surgery went well. The surgeon said that he opened up the plates and seperated them leaving a channel in the center of her head like a big long soft spot.

After that she went to recovery for what seemed like FOREVER before we could see her. Joe went back first to check her out and make sure she looked ok for me to go back. So for a couple hours she was in recovery.

Now she is upstairs in the Critical Care Unit. She has had a blood transfusion. She is on medication for the pain. She seems to be doing ok, she is crying a little bit out of pain we think but everyone is taking care of us well.

Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts!!!
