Things went really well with Sera's surgery today. She screamed when the doctor and nurse took her away from me though. She's been seeing this ENT since she was born, so she recognized him and she does NOT like him because every time she sees him, he pokes and prods at her.

All in all, the surgery took about an hour. She woke up about thirty minutes later, but promptly fell back asleep and took a two hour nap. They were able to take out her IV while she slept, so she never even knew she had one. I think the insertion point bothers her a bit though because she keeps poking at it and saying, "owwwwwww." They kept her for about an hour after she woke up to make sure she could eat and drink, then I was able to take her home!

She's doing really well. She hasn't even noticed her stitches yet, so it's obviously not bothering her, which I'm grateful for. The last thing I want to deal with is her trying to pull them out! She's up and walking around now, but she's still a bit wobbly. It was actually kinda cute and funny to see her falling all over the place at the hospital. She insisted on walking right away.

She was able to take her favorite doll with her into surgery, which she was THRILLED about. They even put a hospital bracelet on it for her.

Here she is in her hospital gown, before surgery:

And here she is "sleeping it off."

Here she is, home and happy. You can see the steri strips in this picture. That's where the cyst was. They're covering three or four stitches.
