Surgery :(

Well, friends, last night was my very first surgery. It all started with this ridiculous diaper rash I have been trying to fight off for over a week. Well, there was one big red bump on my upper thigh that really started to worry Mom and Dad. So they took me to see Dr. Ramirez yesterday at 3:20 and by 5:00, we were scheduled for surgery at Dell Children's Hospital. It turns out, the red bump was a staph infection and those things can be really scary! It had to be drained and removed as soon as possible. We checked in to the hospital and at 7:30, the nurses whisked me away to the O.R. where I was given my first general anesthesia. The surgery only took about 10 minutes and the nurses said I came out of the anesthesia really quickly which was great! In the recovery room, I got to eat 2 whole popsicles while Mom and Dad took turns holding me. By 9:00, the nurses in the P.I.C.U. said I was ready to go home. Thank goodness! Today I stayed around the house and took my tylenol with codeine every four hours (that stuff makes me even sillier than usual!) and although I have no basis for comparison, I feel like I am recovering quite nicely! Thanks for all of the prayers that you sent while I was in surgery. I definitely felt all of the love!
