Dr. Wrubel is finished!

We just got a call from our lovely O.R. nurse, Denise, and she said that Dr. Wrubel is already finished with his portion and now Dr. Mackay (the reconstructive surgeon) is doing his part. They only expect the surgery to take another hour and fifteen minutes, so probably about 12:15pm she'll be finished (we hope!).

Mom, me, and Wesley are still here waiting. Well, actually, it's just me and mom now. Wesley just got some coffee and went to walk around. Teresa and Clifton are going to walk home (thank goodness we live so close because there is zero chance they could get their parking spot back if they drove home!) and they are going to let Nina out and give her a chance to eat.

It will probably be another hour on top of the hour and fifteen minutes before we can see Lucy. She has to go to a recovery room and then be transferred to the pediatric ICU and get settled before we can see her.

I can't tell you how many messages and comments I've received from my friends and family today, and even people I've never met. You don't know how it feels until you've experienced it, but I have to say that it feels amazing. Like, cry a lot from happiness amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
