Surgery Day

Ailyn is one tough little girl....but we already knew that! She did very well in surgery today.
A huge thank you to our babysitter for sleeping over last night so we could leave super early! We had to be at the hospital at 5:30am. Ailyn ate at 11:45pm and slept until 7:00am!! She only cried for a bottle for about 10 minutes before they took her back.
Daddy went back with Ailyn to hold her hand while they put her to sleep. I was traumatized doing this with Camden so I was very happy Aaron was ok with it. No longer than 12 minutes after Aaron walked out of the OR, the doctor was done the procedure. She didn't have to use a lot of anesthesia. They kept her for 2 hours in recovery. She was all smiles right away. The nursed asked if she was always this happy.....yes!
The picture above is Ailyn fake coughing. She thinks she is very funny when she does it.
We have to keep her on the apnea monitor for 24 hours. We have been home for about 5 hours now. The pain killers are starting to wear off, but we are giving her Tylenol every 4 hours. She is talking to her brother right now and happy as can be. Let's hope this lasts! We are tired!!
(there are new videos ;)) Thank you so so much for all the thoughts and prayers.
