What a long day! Krissy was told to be at the hospital at noon, however she was not called back for surgery prep until 3:30 pm. Whew...talk about testing patience. She was a real trooper...and so was all our support team, as everyone waited to eat so we would not be eating in front of her (lol).
During the prep time, with all the questions 900 times and different faces of all the folks that would be a part of the operating room staff, Krissy told the doc that she wanted him to just shave all her hair off. Of course, for the MRI they had already done a real nice job of strategically placing bald spots all over her head! The doc was a little surprised, but Krissy insisted it was much easier to grow it all out even then to look like she had the mange.
Surgery began at 4:22 pm and the Doc called us in the waiting room around 6:30-6:45 pm. He told us she went through the surgery very well and he felt very good about where they placed the electrodes (as he put it, there was alot of sensitive activity in that area). Then our patience was really tested...as we did not get to see her in recovery until 8:45 pm.
She was very tired and they had just given her something for pain . . . but she looked great! Her first question was about the type of headdress they had put on her head. . . "the turban look" or not.
After we all had a few minutes to visit she was back to her nurturing self and insisted we all go to the hotel and get a good nights sleep. Because she was going to sleep! They were keeping her in ICU last night and we are now headed that way to see her.
Thank you all for your prayers and love! And thanks to Rob, Daniel and Pastor Sandy for the support for us Noa girls here at the hospital.
When you talk to Kristina. . . ask her about the two ladies we freaked out in the elevator yesterday morning...haha...always good to have a little comic relief now and then!
Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and His vast strength. Ephesians 6:10
