All you need is another hole in your head...maybe two

First of all, thank you to everyone thinking about us today, it's very comforting to know that we have friends all over. Secondly, everything went great with the surgery. We woke up early, took Laura to a friend's house and then made our way in early morning traffic. I've forgotten what it's like at 8:00am! When we got there we went straight back to the prep room where we of course filled out paperwork. It was nice the nurse, doctor and anesthesiologist all came and briefly talked to us before hand. Eden was so happy, she was singing primary songs on the way and smiled at all of the doctors. Also she was able to wear her own jammies and take her fuzzy blankie with her along with the little bear they gave her. But then we handed her over and they took her away. No words. Brent and I both about started crying! But they kept us busy moving to different rooms: the waiting room, the consultation room, and finally the recovery room. It was only about 15 minutes until the doctor came and told us that they were finished, everything went well, and that she was just waking up. About 5 minutes later they brought her to us in the recovery room and boy was she mad! She was crying so hard, it made me so happy to hear her little voice! But of course, the nurse said she'd been asking for DaDa since she woke up. typical daddy's girl. For about the next 20 minutes she was inconsolable. I guess I would be too if I woke up with strange people in green clothing, my ears hurt and i felt all funky from anestesia. Kind of like a close encounter, hmmm. Anyway, we stayed for about a half hour to make sure she didn't have a reaction then headed back to pickup L. She sang the whole way home, well up until the block before our house. Then the combo of anestesia and driving got the better of her tummy. But after a few naps and a little bit of clinginess we have our little Eden back better than new! Hopefully this will help her sleep better and keep our visits to the doctor to a minimum. Right now she and Eden are dancing around my bedroom to 'All American Regects'. Yep, she's fine:)
