Post Op

Magnolia did great! And as you can see from the video, she is still doing great.

We arrived at the clinic at 7am. They checked Maggie in, and sent us back to the post op area to get all Maggie's info. The nurses gave Maggie a piece of princess paper with her name spelled out in glitter glue with stickers, so she was already thinking these people were pretty cool. Dr. Beck carries each of her children back on her own, so she joined us after a moment, and Maggie went willingly into her arms to head back for surgery. The nurse stopped back by a few moments later to tell us that Maggie didn't even cry!

It only took about 10 minutes, and Dr. Beck carried an unconscious Maggie out of the surgery room and laid her in my arms. Zac and I looked down at our limp daughter, that shockingly was still sucking away on her pacifier, and couldn't help but smile. She woke slowly, and didn't seem too disoriented---just mad. She looked at Zac and signed/said "all done." We offered her some juice which she gulped down, and then we were told we could leave, simple as that!

Now she's climbing up on the couch, poking her dog's eye and trying to get into my purse. That's my cue to go...
