Gracee came through her surgery today with flying colors. The doctor was pleased with the operation and with the way she bounced back this afternoon after the surgery. The nurses and physicians at VU Children's Hospital have been wonderful with her (and us) as we dealt with this unexpected twist in Gracee's Big Adventure. She ate very well this afternoon ... and finally ... went to sleep earlier this evening. She has been a real trooper. Once the anesthesia began to wear off, she began to be her old self. As you can see Gracee was out walking the halls and pushing a wagon in a desperate attempt to convince the medical staff she was ready to be discharged. (We're sure the hospital staff expected her to ride IN the wagon, which she actually did a little later.) It was all for naught though as everyone knew doctor's orders had to be followed and she has a few days of hospitalization still to go before she is released. We are grateful for the prayers that are being lifted up for her. God is faithful. We are thankful for those who have visited us and called us. It is so wonderful to have such caring friends and family.
