Surgery Day Part 1

Daphne woke up super happy this morning, which may mean she's a morning person since "this morning" means 5:20AM. For some crazy reason last night she didn't go to sleep until 11PM. For a girl who has a bedtime of 7 and hasn't been up past 8 in I don't know how long, 11 was rediculously late. She woke up at exactly 3 to eat, which was the time I was going to wake her anyways since that was the required 4 hours before surgery eat time. And she didn't seem to mind not being able to eat when she got up. Good for her!



































She went in for surgery at 7:30 and was done at 9:30. All is well! We may not even have to spend the night tonight. This probably means that I might need to be awake all night staring at her to make sure she's breathing. Unless I can find a nurse willing to come home with us...















The doctor was worried about her not having Achilles tendons, but of course the amazing Daphne has perfectly great looking ones. So he did his little snipping action and brought her feet up a bit. We'll come back in next week for new casts, and then I think those ones will stay on without being changed for a couple of weeks. Then she'll have to have those cool shoes with the bar between them for maybe 3-4 months to make sure her feet stay where they are supposed to. I think we're going to have to do some outfit modifications since she has so many cute jammies and such with feet in them, so hopefully I can find a person or two out here who is handy with a sewing machine.















Daphne is really funny waking up from her sleep drugs. It's too bad she can't talk, because I'm sure we'd be hearing some really entertaining things like this.















We'll be here for several hours while they moniter her, so we're just entertaining ourselves in our little recovery room.
