Well, we made it through the first round of surgeries. The surgery got bumped to Thursday instead of Friday. I'm not going to lie, it was a LONG day. She was the second surgery of the day....we had to wait an additional hour for them to even get her. Needless to say that was hard on all of us. Surgery got over around 5, but I still had an additional hour to wait before I could see her. Then she had the post op nurse from hell. Seriously the woman was mean and grouchy....complaining about Maria whining and being emotional. We had to do a quick MRI and re-programming of the shunt before we got to the room. We didn't get to the room until around 7:30. Did I mention it was a LONG day? Well, as soon as we got rid of the mean nurse, I was finally able to get Maria what she needed....a drink of water, and magically all the whining and crying stopped....well, until the neurosurgery inter came in to check her shunt. We also got through an Ortho appt and met with plastics before finally checking out at 5pm on Friday....that was a LONG day too. We went to the grandparents house for an additional day of recovering and spoiling. Maria is actually doing amazingly well. She has no pain and is relieved that you can't tell where her head is shaved.
