Ivy had surgery bright and early this morning. The docs took her from us at about 7:30am and the surgeon didn't come talk to us again until it was over at 1:45pm (although, we received updates every hour from a nurse). She did really great during the whole procedure, they told us that everything went smoothly with no surprises. We were finally able to see her at about 2:45pm, and she was still pretty sedated and had a breathing tube in. By 4:05pm the tube was out, and she seems a little less grumpy now, and she's slowly waking up. Her oxygen saturation levels look great, and her skin and lips look a little pinker now. The saddest part is that she is strapped down to the bed so that she wont pull anything out, and they told us that a major side effect of the procedure is headaches. Now begins recovery, please pray that she makes it through without any surprises.
Here's Ives last night when she started feeling better after her cath.
Here's what Ivy's scar looked like this morning before surgery (I hope it still looks that good when it heals).
Once again she was super cuddly before they took her away.
Here she is right after surgery. She's once again sportin' her gauze tuxedo and brown mustache.
Just a shot of all her meds!
Here she is after they removed the breathing tube (bye, bye brown mustache), now she sounds like a squeaky toy! Have a nice nap, sweet girl, you deserve it!
