Can you say “COLD”? For my fellow Floridians, put your head under the faucet, run cold water, and then stick your head in your freezer. That’s the “cold” I am talking about. I love Florida!!!
We woke up at 4:45am to get Madison at the hospital by 6:30am. Mission accomplished. She was the first patient to be operated on. For obvious reasons, we were a bit anxious. The surgery started at around 8:30am and was over within 2 hours. It was a complete success. I tried to ask the doctor what went down in the surgery, but the answer we got was equivalent to Dwyane Wade’s response on how did he singlehandedly won game 3 of the championship. He just “did it!”
All I got was that he did NOT have to get cartilage from her ear. He did work on her nose and lip. She looks great and the next operation will be in about 8 weeks. As exhausting this is for Noemi and me, I can’t imagine the pain that Madi’s going through. She doesn’t cry much but when she does, get out the ear muffs baby, and it isn’t because it’s cold.
We were able to meet some really nice families today that are going though similar situations with their child. Interestingly, Madi’s condition is common with girls and not boys. All the families were just great and we exchanged numbers. It is nice to share with those who are going through similar situations as you.
We didn’t have to stay overnight at the hospital. We were very pleased about that. We arrived at the apartment a little after noon. She has eaten well and she seems to be doing great considering. Cleaning her wounds is quite an event but besides that, she’s overloading on Dora, Elmo, and the Little Mermaid.
