Well, we survived the emotions of sending your child into surgery! Tiny A did great! Over a month ago she stepped on something and the Dr. thought it just punctured her foot and that it was clean. Well after several infections and several rounds of antibiotic, they cultured it and found that she had a staff infection. We were sent to a specialist and they determined there was definately something foreign in there that needed to come out. Because of her age they decided they needed to do it while she was out. She was scheduled for surgery with in the week. Ahhh! My nerves were definately getting the better of me. But after Matt and I went to the temple and many prayers on her behalf, I had such a peace come over me. I knew she needed to do this and she would be fine. Everything went great. We arrived at the hospital at 6:30 this morning and she went into surgery at 7:40. By 9:00 I was holding her in my arms trying to wake her up. She wasn't very happy about her IV or the big bandage on her foot. But she definately needed the surgery. They found a little chunk of wood that was almost 1/2 in. long and it was 1/8 in. thick. Not very pleasant to have that in your foot. So in a week or so she should be feeling much better with no more pains in her foot. Thank goodness for Dr. Panec. He was an excellent doctor. We were definately in good hands. The nurses were fantastic as well, and were completely in love with our Tiny A. Thank you to M's mom for getting the kids off to school and taking care of Audrey for us. Also, Thank you to my sister for bringing over dinner for us and for everyones good thoughts and prayers on Tiny A's behalf. What would we do with out family?
Pre- Op check up. She loved the gown. She didn't want us to take it off of her when it was time to go home.
After her "sleepy Medicine". She started to get pretty silly before she got really tired. Check out the video at the bottom of the post of her being a silly "piggy".
Coming out of the anesthesia. Not very Happy. Especially about her new "big purple foot" and the IV.
Home and Happy! Finally getting some food in her little tummy! This helped her mood tremendously!

Oh, I'm so glad it went well! I don't like the part where they're coming out of anesthesia and they're inconsolable and confused. But thank goodness you did the surgery! That's not a small piece of wood. Ouch!
