whew!!


Madi is finally settled in her room...

Hit the same day surgery at 8:30 a.m., she was SICK with nerves...started vomiting at 5 a.m. (poor baby).

Finally got into the op room at 10:45 a.m. The surgery took about 3 1/2 hours. She gave us a bit of a scare in the recovery room-- her blood pressure sky rocketed along with her heart rate, and she couldn't stop shivering. I have never seen her do this before, and personally went into a full blown panic attack (imagine that). I had to leave and take a breather in the hallway before I lost it completely, went back in 3 minutes and we got it (all) under control.

The floor is hopping, so I am personally shocked that we have a PRIVATE room (note verbal cartwheels of joy and appreciation). At this point, Madi is resting, Grampa is snoring in the corner and I am updating the blog on an ample load of caffeine. Yup, I should be on hyper mode for the entire night.

We hope to recover quickly and smoothly. Tonight, the first night, is always a long night... but, this, too, shall pass.
