Thumbs up!!!!!

Well Abigail did just perfectly this morning and even now you would honestly not know anything happened. It certainly was more traumatic on us than on her. I am guessing this will make life so much better for her. Whew! I think we earned another notch in our parenting belts. That was quite a task as a mother to go into the OR with her as they put her to sleep. Even thought I did not want to do it I knew I had to. It was really gut-wrenching leaving my baby who was one second fighting the mask and the next out like a light. The staff was on top of it though. They wisked me out and minutes later the doctor came out to tell us all was done. I guess he did vacuum out some thick fluid so that was just another reassurance we did the right thing. When they called us back a few minutes later she was awake and seated on the bed just looking all around. It was as if she were on a parade float. When she saw us she got a little upset but since we were able to pick her up right away she just nestled in and was happy as can be. So we were blessed with a relatively very easy recovery too. What a star patient. I am SO glad it is over though! We were home at 9:22 a.m. Here she is minutes later:
