The surgery is over!

I'm just getting around to posting this, but Lucy's surgery is over now!!! We met with Dr. Mackay around 11:45am and he said that everything went really well. He said she only lost a little blood and the bones came apart very easily and there were only a few little holes in the dura which is the lining in between the skull and the brain.

We got moved up to the pediatric ICU waiting room around 12:45 and shortly after that we got to come back and see her. We're in the room with her now. I wasn't shocked to see her all swollen already, but they said it's probably going to get worse. A lot of times the surgeon will put in a drain tube so that there isn't as much swelling, but our surgeon opted not to do that because he said the babies recover faster without it, even though the swelling may be a little greater at first.

She's still sleeping, but she will squeeze your finger if you put it in her hand and she's moving around a little bit.

Here are the pictures of her ... she's swollen, so if you don't want to see it, don't read any further ...

So we're praying for minimal swelling, that her stomach would be able to take food sooner rather than later, that she wouldn't be scared or frustrated because she can't open her eyes, and that her pain will be very very little. So far, God has answered our prayers over and above what we could ask for, so we expect His faithfulness to continue even in the small things!
