| She is comfy |
While it was a really (really, really) long day, it could
not have gone any better!!
So many people have to come together to make something like
this go so smoothly. When several go above and beyond, the comfort it provides
my soul is pretty amazing.
Our surgeon heard my concerns about Madison’s poor healing
and was able to acquire a relatively new, and very exciting product to use
in hopes that it would help. It’s previously been used on much larger wounds,
but when he approached his supplier with our situation, they agreed that it
would be worth a try. We are all anxious to see how this goes, and will have
some idea next week when we see our surgeon again for follow up.
They were able to arrange it so that we had our pain
specialist handle anesthesia, meaning we had a familiar face this morning, who
knows Madison’s history, and even better yet, came here from our hospital in
Houston, so she knows our mito protocol inside and out. It was the easiest part
of our morning, and that is not always the case.
Our nurses, in pre-op, recovery, and since we have been on
the floor, have been awesome.
Several of our friends came by for a visit, and the noise
coming from this room; from laughter, to singing; has been something else much
of the day.
My mom saved my butt and was able to get Chance and Abby
over here this afternoon for an appointment they needed to make it to, and is
at the house helping out on that end until Madi & I can get home and
relieve her. We could not do all we do without her!!
Madison was a trooper, as always, and showed no fear going
into this.
Then the prayers really kicked in……
The area that needed to be excised was more manageable than
we could have hoped for!! From what the surgeon tells me, it is a little larger
than a quarter, and filled with the “pixie dust” (new product I referred to
earlier), and now we just have to wait for it to heal.
Madison tolerated the anesthesia well. She woke up insanely
chatty, and it was adorable!!
She overall looks pretty good….a little strain on her body
is showing, but it’s been very manageable……She got some extra fluids via IV,
and that always makes her feel better…..and most remarkable…..
She hasn’t had ANY pain all day.
I don’t get it, but I am NOT complaining.
We should be out of here sometime tomorrow morning, and will
be so happy to be home. In the meantime….I need sleep!!!
