Claire's Surgery...

Hey everybody. It's me, Brianna. Claire came through with her surgry today with great success. The surgry was suppossed to start at 11:15 but instead didn't start until 1:30. Despite the late starting time, she never began to complain about being hungry until about 11:30 and then all she wanted was some gum. She was really happy about things when Mommy put her scrubs on. Mom got to go in with her until she fell asleep. It took her awhile to finally wake up after the surgry, but when she did there was no crying and she ate 3 popsicles. The Doctor said everything went well and we should be able to activate the implant in about a couple of weeks. She will be coming home tomorrow and is supossed to wear a foam like cup covering her left ear for the next 7 days. We are very blessed everything went great and can't wait to have the implant activated and see how it will impact her life.
