We are still here...

Well, Luci was in surgery for about 6 hours yesterday, I thought it was only going to take 3...since that is what the doc said...so you can imagine after about hour 4 I was starting to worry that something went wrong.

When I finally talked to the OR nurse and asked what took so long, what was wrong she was all confused, had no idea what I was talking about, everything was great and right on schedule.

Then she said...who told you it was going to be 3 hours, when I told her she literally busted out laughing...apparently they do this a lot! She said, "honey, they have absolutely no concept of time, don't ever go by what a doc says when it has to do with time...just tell one of us what they said and we will
translate it into "real people" time?"

So, all went well, perfectly according to plan. The anesthesiologist came back to see me while Luci was in recovery, she said she was usually in cardiology but for some reason ended up here today and it was a very special day for her.

Said little Luci really touched her heart and it was a very special day for her to get to take care of her. I thanked her for taking care of my angel and then she was tearing up...so we hugged...both trying not to cry!

They said we needed to stay overnight..very good call! There is absolutely no way I could have gotten her home, she was out cold! She had thrown up in recovery so they gave her plenty of anti-nausea meds and some fairy dust to keep her sleeping and pain free...wish they would throw a little my way!











She finally woke up, with great resistance around 9:30 and ate a little breakfast and they cleared us to go home!

At home she napped most of the afternoon. I made party bags for she and Mac so they had lots of little what nots to play with when she was awake.

Mac is very physical and likes to play hard...Luci doesn't need to be making any quick moves or have any fast moving objects (like Mac's hands) near her face.

Keeping a little distance between them has been a challenge...luckily Mac will be in school next week and Luci will be home with GiGi.




All is well ...except when we have to put the antibiotic ointment in and on her eyes...that is a screaming crying nightmare but luckily it only lasts for about 6 minutes...we have to do that in the AM and before bed...oh joy.

Until tomorrow...
