The Surgery Day!!

Had a great weekend with the Salmon Family and headed back to Montreal late last night.  It was nice to relax this past weekend and enjoy the little bit of sun that we had.

We had our alarm set for 6:30am, but Jessica's interal clock got us up at 6:00am.  Thank goodness that she did, because it was perfect timing for everything that we needed to do.  Jessica had an early bath along with a scrub down with some special soap.  She LOVES her baths, but wasn't too sure with the shower after. 

We put her warm PJ's back on for the trip over to the hospital.

Bundled her up for the brisk walk from the hotel to the Hospital.  She was all smiles and giggles this morning.

It was a very quick process to register.  Once Jessica was changed into her hospital gown, she became VERY quite and VERY cuddly.  She knew...which made me a puddle of goo.  Good thing Steve held it together for the both of us!

We wrapped her up to keep her warm and then headed down to the Operating Room.  There we were able to talk to the surgeron who basically said he ultimately would like to anchor her back so that it stops twisting, but still allow her to grow.  He didn't know if this would work until he got in there and tried.  It is dependant upon whether he has the room to do it seeing as Jessica is still small.  Fingers crossed that this works, because if that's not sucessful, he will have to put in rods that will need to be adjusted every six months which basically controls the growth for her.  That means Surgery every six months...NOT GOOD!

Now we wait...approximately 6 hours.  After that, she will be placed in ICU for the night.  I will post with updates.
