All Better!

Alexis' surgery went very well.

We showed up at the hospital at 8am and after getting all her all check in with the nurses, insurance and doctors, she headed back to the operating room with the nurses. We put her in a little red wagon and they wheeled her down the hall way.. she didn't make a peep! We were very impressed.
Anna had warned me to go get cookies right away because they disappear fast. So, I dried my tears and headed for cookies & coffee. By the time I got back to the room, Bill said the nurse had already been back to tell us she was already sleeping and still hadn't fussed. We figure she was so used to her neb. treatments that she probably didn't think twice about taking in the oxygen & gas.

Fifteen minutes later, the doctor came back to tell us it had all gone smoothly and another 15 minutes later, two nurses brought her back to us... lungs & all! She was pretty worked up, extremely tired and took about half an hour to calm down and get to sleep.

She had a decent amount of air in her stomach so that was probably bothering her. Once she woke up, she was alert and ready to go!

We came home and she slept some more, ate a good 5 ounces of milk and played with her two new friends (a bunny & polar bear) for a while before taking another nap now. As you can see, she looks great & really isn't phased much by it all.

Oh, don't forget about the dogs... I'm going to keep reminding you for help!!!
