We're home! Surgery went really well. We arrived at Sacred Heart Children's at 10:30AM. After they looked her over and we spoke with all the Dr's and nurses they gave Addison a little medicine to make her sleepy. We cried as they wheeled her off and 30 minutes later she was all done. Just long enough for Tris and I to sneak over to the cafeteria for lunch. About an hour after she got out of the OR, we were able to go in to see her. She was a bit fussy from the anesthetic but I held and rocked her until it wore off. Shortly after she was sitting up and eating popsicles and goldfish. We left the hospital about 2PM and headed back to Mike and Karlynn's. We weren't sure how she'd do on the ride home and decided to stay close to Spokane just in case she had any problems from surgery. We gave her some Tylenol with coedine to keep her comfortable in the car and expected her to be in and out of sleep for the rest of the day. Ha! She was on the go until bedtime. Up and playing and talking and laughing. You wouldn't even know this kid had surgery. She continues to do well and is proud to show off her "owie." Thanks everyone for keeping us in your thoughts.
The medicine they gave her made her sleepy and giggly.

All done and enjoying an orange popsicle.

Staying hydrated. :)

Colton was sitting on my lap when I was looking at your blog, thanks for posting the elmo balloon!!!!! Gald to hear all went well!
How are you all doing? I'm glad to hear that the surgery went well. I don't know what I would do if our daughter had to go through that. Where are you and your family living at? We're down in Logan, UT. I'm still going to school at Utah State University. I'll be done at the end of the Spring 2010. Hope you all are doing well. Take care.
