Surgery Update

This post is going to be a bit sloppy. My hands are shaking. Waiting on word that shes ok and everything went as planned.

While we were getting ready to go into surgery, she got what they called "happy juice". Basically a Valium type liquid to make her all happy. I was trying to get her earrings out b4 they gave her the juice and she wouldnt let me. After she got the juice...it was hilarious. I got her earrings out. But it wasnt without some giggling, squirming, and laughing. It was my Kenzo. Just a really really "high" kenzo. So she was all smiles going into the O.R.

Update at 3:07. Surgeon came out and told us she took the cathator perfectly. Everything is hooked up great. And her body took it like a champ. So far so good. Just gotta wait for the spinal tap and bone marrow draw. Will update asap.

4:18- Doc just came out and said shes in recovery. Shes fine. They had some complications with the bone marrow draw. They couldnt get enough out of her right side because the leukemia cells were compacting the bone marrow. So they had to pull from the left side as well. But they eventually got enough. So she will have a little extra pain, but if thats the worst of it...im fine with that!

Thank you all for the prayers. They worked!!!

Btw... When she first opened her eyes in recovery, the first words out of her mouth were " I want my Daddy". 😊

Added update at 4:29.
Its really hard to see her like this. The port sticks out alot. But the important thing is shes fine. Ill send pics tonight. Thank you all again for ur prayers. I love you all.
