2nd surgery...done

Even though she couldn't eat this morning and was kinda grumpy, she was pretty happy to be leaving her room.  


Pre surgery play and snuggles with Mommy, much easier without the weight of those wires!



Then I had a long day to wait.  I showered, got a hug and kiss from Minnie...


...had lunch and then sat with this view


While Elsie was in surgery up there behind me


This time she left me about 1 pm and I didn't get to see her until 7pm.  I got one update that said "she's doing fine and has been stable the whole time."  I talked with her surgeon when it was over and he said she did lose a little blood and that he thinks he was able to do the complete corpus callosotomy but that there were a lot of electrodes in there, which makes it harder to work.  We'll see what the epilepsy team says about that tomorrow.  

Tonight she's doing fine on lots of pain meds.  She was signing for Cheerios and doing the motions of "wheels on a bus."  Now she's getting rewired.


I'm praying she stays comfortable and sleeps tonight.  And that she doesn't have the vomiting that she did after last week's surgery.
