This experience has really restored my faith in the medical community. Every single person who has cared for Mary has been so incredibly loving. They always, without fail, comment on what a cute baby she is, before treating her. Each of them seem to truly love babies and children! When Mary was going back for surgery, I actually placed her in the anesthesiologist's arms. It was much more comforting than seeing her roll away crying on a stretcher. The surgical nurse describes the anesthesiologist as a great big teddy bear. And she really is!
Charlie and Sam were able to visit this morning right after she was extubated. Mary was still out of it, but it was nice to have our family together again.
Also, Mary had her first post-surgery meal tonight at about 5:30. She nursed like a champ, even though she is still pretty sleepy.
Here's a picture of her right where she belongs - back in her mama's arms.

Awww! We're praying for a quick and full recovery for Mary.
My dear, precious Gabi,
You and Mary and the family are in our hearts throughout the day. I am so glad I checked your blog and saw this photo. It is one thing to pray for a surgery and another thing, always surprising, to actually see the inside of a hospital. And I was just in one... but you forget... sort of like labor maybe...
It is heartwarming to see you there loving on your darling girl. She has made it with flying colors. So glad to hear the good reports, too. Hope you all can go home very soon.
We love you all so very much,
Margie for the Fawcetts
