Surgery Complete!

Tabitha's surgery went well today.  Thanks for praying!  It took longer than expected (8 hours instead of 6) because she was a "one of the hardest he's ever done," but things went well.  The urologist says her bladder is in good shape, so hopefully she won't need any further surgery.  She can't eat for a few days, until the bowels start working again (since they were messed with for the Malone part of the surgery).  Being able to eat is the biggest factor in how soon she can come home.  We were told she'll be there at least 4 days, maybe up to 7.  She's pretty puffy and out of it from surgery, but other than that things are going well.

Heath's hanging in there.  Sleeping at the hospital isn't much fun, that's for sure.  And he forgot his laptop, so boredom is quite an issue too.  But he's a good sport and hasn't begged me to come switch with him yet.  =)  Things are going well for us at home too.  Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.  We appreciate it!

This is Tabitha attempting to smile with her very puffy face.  Poor thing!  But hey, at least she TRIED to smile.  That says something!
