Now *that* was a long day!

Everything went well today, thank you everyone for your thoughts. She went into surgery this morning at about 9:15 or so... and we finally got to see her at about 4! I am sure it took a while to get her all sedated and intubated, she's such a tough stick, it's a good thing she was asleep before all the poking. She had to have two IVs, and arterial line and a central line. I saw 5 pokes on the back of one hand and 5 sticks on the other hand/wrist with no IV, I think they finally got one in her foot... and the arterial line they had to do in her crotch.

It ended up being more invasive than they originally thought, they went back further than the top of her head to reshape it. Then they put in plates and screws to hold the bones in place until her body makes bone to fill in the gaps. The screws and plates dissolve in a year, which we found quite fascinating! Thet set her eyebrows a little more prominent then you would expect, I guess in a few years they tend to sink back in. We haven't see anything yet though, I want to peek!

She's in the PICU now, and she will wake up and cry and put her hand to her head like "It hurts right here!" But they have her on as much morphine as they can give her. I just want her to sleep through the next three days!

They said her eyes will swell shut by Friday, but I think they already have, as you can see by the pictures. The bandages will come off on Friday and they will pull the drain that goes above her eyebrows on Saturday. She should come home on Monday.

Boo to this day, I need to go catch some Zzzzs!

Happily not knowing why she's in the funny PJs...
