After Surgery

We are home! The surgery went great, she got in at about 7ish. The dr was so impressed after the surgery that he said "She may even be able to go home today." As you can already tell that didn't happen. Recovery from the surgery went ok. She needed/wanted to be held right way so they ended up calling me back so I could hold her(which I was very happy about since it was suppose to be an hr before we would be able to see her). She pretty much just slept the whole rest of the morning. She seemed to be doing ok, at around 11 she wanted to walk around til she realized that she had something connected to her(IV) she wasn't to happy about that. She's just like me though, cuz as soon as I would put her blanket over the hand that had the IV in it she would calm down. We couldn't really get her to drink anything, but she did manage to eat 2.5 Popsicles with in 30mins, and that was about it on eating and drinking. Around 1:30 daddy had to go pick up N from school, so from then on it was just M and me. N was being a little bit mooding and since M still wasn't doing so well, we decided that hubby would just stay at home and not come back to see us. N's so sensitive on how M's feeling it wouldn't have been good. The dr came in around 4 to check on her, but since she wasn't drinking or eating yet it was a no go for going home. Of course after the dr left she started eating! She also got some different pain meds which I think helped a lot, she was on Morphine first and it just made her so tired. She did great last night even slept in the crib which I was very happy for, I was so afraid she wouldn't, and I'd have to hold her all night. She did so well that the nurses even disconnected her IV sometime during the night. This morning the dr came in at about 7:30 and said she looked good and was eating so we could go home!! We had to wait for hubby and N to come get us, so we didn't get home til about 12. M's still not drinking a ton, but she's loving the Popsicles(so is N). And a funny little thing, now she's snoring! The dr says it's normal for the first few days to week, I just think it's funny since she didn't before, and every time we told a dr or nurse that she was having the surgery they would say "O'does she snore really bad at night?" Anyways, here's a few pictures from the hospital.

Here is when she first started walking around and tried to drink

Here she is trying to eat some applesauce. She wouldn't let me help her. By this time(about 8pm) she finally was getting use to the IV and using her hand with it.
