It has been an INCREDIBLY LONG day, but here we are and Scarlett is doing beautifully.  As Daddy has said surgery went well and Scarlett has been sleeping most of the day.  There have been some rough patches as she wakes up and is uncomfortable.  At one point she wanted to get up and be held.  She settled for sitting while Mommy and Daddy both snuggled in close.  This was extremely scary for Mom and Dad though, she was arching her back, crying and turning blue.  Luckily it didn't last too long and the nurses tweaked some of her meds to make her a little more comfortable.  She still wakes up every now and then, but otherwise she has been doing so well!!!  We are so proud of our strong little girl.  Again thank you to everyone for your prayers, well wishes, and support!  You are all such a blessing to us and we are overwhelmed by your loving words!  Now I'm off to try and get some much needed rest!  Goodnight and God Bless!

Lovie still dozing

Here's a pic of lovie and violet...both zonked out!  Drs remain very pleased with her status and she will likely get her milk bottle tonight.  Mommy and daddy love you sweet pea!!

She looks so good!

Words can't express how ecstatic we are about how great she is doing, how thankful to the Lord we are, and how much we love our daughter.  Thanks again for all the prayer and love!

Hospital staff are very pleased with her progress.

More details later tonight we hope.

Scarlett out of surgery. .surgeon had no concerns!!!

Not much more to say, praise the Lord for His grace...Dr. said she can even have a bottle later!  We are overjoyed.  No complications!

Scarlett coming out of OR momentarily!

Nurse said lovie is being closed up and we should be seeing her soon after we talk to her surgeon..  Everything gone well so far.  We are so humbled, blessed,  and uplifted today.  God has truly granted us a peace that can only come from Him.  Praise Him!  Will post more as we can.

Major part of surgery over!

Nurse said Scarlett is doing well, major reconstruction is complete, and that the warming process is underway; this means surgery is almost over!!! We should get to see her within the hour after hearing the report from her surgeon.  Thanks everyone so much for the prayers, support, and emails...keep them coming!  We have a week or two of recovery here in Philadelphia, and the surgeon did mention we may want to plan to hang around the area after we leave the hospital, but a more concrete plan for that will come later.  When we have more time, we will post pics later tonight.
