Bob is a very brave man and a VERY patient father. I was out East making the selections for our new house and taking care of everything so they can just build it and we will come. Bob took the girls to Ohio for a couple of days for some R&R with Grandma O prior to Anna's procedure. Upon Bob's return, there was a message from the Dr's office saying that they would like to move the procedure to Thursday, yesterday, the day that I was returning from CT. After a couple of phone calls, we decided it was best to do it as soon as possible. So, Mrs. O ventured up to take care of Celie while Bob took Anna in for her procedure.
There was a back log of cases and the 12:30pm procedure really didn't take place until 4:00pm. Had I not spent 3 hours on the runway in PVD, I would have been able to see them at the hospital, but instead, we met each other at home around 9 pm. Anna looked tired and a little confused by her new found confinement. She is doing well. She is sleeping off the anesthesia and should really start to get cranky tomorrow or Sunday - just in time for Bob to go back to work and leave her with me, by myself.
We did receive some good news, sort of. The Surgeon called to say that she wants to only keep the cast on for 2 months and not 3. She wants to do a follow up visit at 2 weeks and then take it off at the 2 month mark. There is a possibility that she will have to have surgery to round out her hip pocket - like Celie, but that surgery wouldn't take place until she is 2 or 3 years old. So, I am thankful that she only has 61 days left in that thing. She will be free on August 22nd. YEAH!!!
The countdown begins.
