Robin's Surgery

The kids brought in these beautiful flowers and stuffed cocker for Robin to enjoy when she woke up. 

We checked into Kadlec at 10:45 this morning so she could go thru the pre-op formality.  All the kids came around 11:30 to spend time with her before she went into surgery.  The nurses came in just before 1:00 to take her to surgery.   She came out about 3:00 and the Dr. came in to talk to us to let us know the surgery went very well and should be out of recovery by 4:00.  She didn't get to her room until 4:30 where we joined her.  She was hot and in alot of pain.  We finally got some pain meds and a fan.  The fan really helped, but the pain meds weren't doing a thing.  Got more pain meds and she is currently resting and now it's 6:00.

7:30 - Robin is sitting up and taking nourishment (a cut up banana and 7-UP).  The nurse wanted her to have something in her stomach before her next pain medication which will be a pill this time.

9:15 - The pain pill is working as it should and she is resting now.  I will go ahead and post this now, but may add more later.
