Surgery...

UPDATE #3:  Just heard from the recovery room.  They said Anna Cate is hurting and they are trying to manage her pain.  Her eyes are open but she's not really awake yet.   She will stay in recovery until they get a room ready for her.  Can't wait to put my hands on her.




UPDATE #2:  SURGERY IS DONE!!!!  Dr. B. just came out and said everything went great.  She only lost a thimble full of blood and she does not have to go to ICU!  Big praise!!


She is in recovery now and will be there for a little while.  I'll update again after I see her.




UPDATE #1:     I just got off the phone with someone from the OR.  AC went to sleep with no problem, her vital signs are stable, and her surgery is progressing.

-----------------------------------------------

The power of prayer is AH-mazing.  Rusty and I both are completely calm this morning.  We feel your prayers and we are so thankful for them.  I read AC every message that we got this morning as they came in and she was full of smiles as she heard the love and well wishes that everyone sent.

Surgery has started.  Dr. Boydston came out a few minutes ago while they were getting her to sleep to go over everything with us again.  He promised to treat her like one of his own.  That man is awesome!!

We had a rainy ride to the hospital this morning.  AC only ended up sleeping about 4 hours last night so she dozed on and off during our ride.  We got to the hospital right at 7 and were taken back to our pre-op room.  AC changed into her cute little hospital gown that was covered with puppies and climbed into the bed to watch TV.

Mike the technician came by to check her vitals.  Then Dr. Taub came by to answer our questions about the surgery.  He works with Dr. Boydston and we will be seeing him every morning.  Dr. Taub looks just like our friend Brad Giddens so I am referring to him as Dr. Brad.

At 9:05 AC got her versed.  She was not a fan of the taste.  The nurse said that it would be 10-15 minutes before they came to get her....it was more like 3.  We quickly said our good-byes and then headed out to the waiting room.

I am about to hunt down some caffeine.  I am functioning on an hour of sleep so I need a little help.

More to come....
