Its now 1:00 and we have been here more than 6.5 hours. Well we got up around 5:10am and checked in at main campus around 6:30. Her surgery was scheduled for 8:30 but they didn't start until 10:04. The doctor just came out and said everything went well. They had a little trouble intubating her. Dr Doumit said her mouth was so small and he couldn't even put his finger in there to close up the stitches, that he had to use instruments to close them. She will be on a milk diet for 4-5 days and then she can have puréed baby food or soft food like mashed potatoes. For the first day or two we will use a dropper for the formula and after that she can suck on a bottle. She will be in arm restraints for 2-3 weeks since she puts things in her mouth.
I couldn't believe all the love and support that we received from people regarding her surgery. It was overwhelming. Her teachers at daycare made her a card, my friend Karen sent her a card and package and her cousin, Eddie, sent her a video message. Not to mention all the posts on Facebook. We love you guys and I will update more once we get to see her.
Some random pics. Avery will not be commenting on them because she is not feeling up to it right now.
Care package from Karen. Cheer care bear and a Brave figurine because Avery is the "bravest" redhead that Karen knows. (Sooo cute, thanks Karen!)
