Hailey Update

Our little pumpkin is doing fine and finally getting some rest from her long day. Overall, we were at the hospital for about 6 hours. I think she could tell something was up and stayed close all morning, but had a lot of fun with the toys and puzzles in the various waiting rooms.

The surgery took about an hour and a half. Her doctor was pleased with how well it went and how much of the nevus she was able to remove. She's confident that she can get the remaining section in one more surgery and even reduce the scar size in the process.

She's having a rough time keeping anything down, but that's to be expected. She finally fell asleep for more than 10 minutes and has been asleep now for almost an hour ... also the record for the longest span without emptying her stomach contents :-)

Hopefully this lasts a while!

We only have to keep the head wrap on for another 36 hours! I think all of the nice care packages with books and games will come in handy to distract her from yanking it off tomorrow. THANK YOU for all of the prayers and support!
