Surgery went great!

I had to have Isabella at the surgery center by 6:45 this morning. We checked in and went back to her room. She watched videos and waled the halls until about 8:00 when they took her back. She wanted nothing to do with the female nurse, only the male nurse could carry her. As soon as they took her back I went to the waiting area. I took out my ipod and watched a 6 minute video and started another and they were calling my name that they were done. I think it literally took 10 minutes from putting her to sleep to taking her to recovery. The doctor came to talk to me and I went to recovery to give her some much needed hugs and kisses. She cried some but that was because of the anesthesia more than anything. As soon as we got to the van she was okay. We even made a trip to Wal-Mart to get Hunter some poster board, took it to him at school, went to another Wal-Mart (because the pharmacy wasn't open yet at the first one), then went home. She did great the whole time. I fed her a light lunch and put her in the bed. She climbed out 3 times before she finally went to sleep. I thought she would be so tired. She hasn't event whined once. She's still her smiling self. She's such a good girl!! So, that's how the morning went. She did fine and all is well! Thanks for all the prayers. Have a great weekend!
