It is 11:23 am (MST) and Dr. Adrian Curnow just visited with me. Shayla's port is out and all is well! The surgery took about 1/2 an hour for removal. I know, I know, it is almost 2 1/2 hours after the surgery time I wrote about last night. Well, WE WERE HERE at 7:00 am! Dr. Curnow didn't come in to Shayla's pre-op room until almost 10:30, so he got a late start (and we were his first scheduled surgery for the day!). I was told he had an emergency in the PICU, so we will forgive the lateness.
This time was soooo much different! Shayla was chatting with the nurses, Child Life specialist and the anesthesiologist and laughing; happy. Today's surgery closes a very large chapter in Shayla's life; and I saw the file--no kidding, it is about 10 inches thick!!!!! Lucky for those of you reading this blog, you get the "condensed" version for easy reading! I think the blog is more interesting reading than a medical file anyway!
