Surgery went well! It lasted around 2.5 hours, which was half as long as they told us it would be. Dr. Oakes said that her surgery was "appropriate" -Dr. Oakes' way of saying it went well! Haha.
It will be tonight or tomorrow before her medicine wears off and we can test her functionality. She seem to be fine in her legs. Moving them around fine. But be praying that everything is normal.
We will be here 3 days as she has to lay flat for those days. Please pray for little to no pain. She seems to be ok with pain now, but that may just be because she's still a little loopy. She got Tylenol around 10:00 and its 2:30 now and she hasn't had any more. She has morphine available to her if needed. We will probably take that option :).
Just just woke up a bit ago and took a big bottle. She is able to have breast milk now, and is taking her bottles perfectly, so she was able to come off her IV fluids.
We are still in recovery (going on 3 hours now), but they are getting her room ready now!
Keep praying for us. Matt and I are so exhausted (very little to no sleep). Our families are exhausted, too.
We love you guys. Your prayers are being heard and felt. Keep them coming for sweet Emri! I'll keep you all posted!
