So as Michele said, the anesthesia took a little longer due to her size and cardiac issues, but she got through it fine. Dr. Wulkan walked out to find us in the waiting area and he looked at us and said - 'She's done - 33 minutes.' This after telling us the surgery takes 1 hour 15 minutes this morning. He under promised and over delivered by leaps and bounds. He said that she did great - no cardiac incidents during surgery and her two procedures (which I will now refer to as a tube and tighten) are done. We will be going up to see her in a couple of minutes. Mom and I are elated as are the grandparents. Michele is having a tough day physically and emotionally so after we see our little one I will probably take her home to rest. We will update later today or maye tomorrow with anything new.
Thank you all again for the wonderful notes/emails/thoughts that we received this morning alone. We will need them again in the future, but for the rest of today I would ask you to focus your good thoughts on the hundreds of other children that I have seen in the past day and a half here. Some who need so much more then our little flower does. Children shouldn't ever be made to go through what these kids here are going through, but this place is an oasis for them, when they can enjoy it and almost everyone here is a person that has a special place in my heart for the job that they do every single day.
