Surgery

Alayah had her surgery today and we arrived at the clinic bright and early. All the nurses thought she was the cutest thing and kept telling other nurses to come in an get a look at her...which began to get a little awkward. They gave her some drugs to get her sleepy but all they did was get her wired. The surgery only took about 15 minutes but I was so anxious to have her back in my arms that it seemed much longer. They said she might be grumpy when she woke up but boy was she pissed! She screamed bloody murder for about 20 minutes after she came to the recovery room and she wouldn't settle down for anything. Finally, they let us leave and she stopped crying. She spent the rest of the day laying around watching Elmo and didn't seem to be phased one bit by the surgery or in any pain which was great. I hope to see some language improvement over the next couple of months.
