Kate, just before surgeryWith all of the snow and ice coming down, it should be a great day to stay at home, cuddled up on the couch, right? Well, not us. Evidently the good Lord decided that it was a fine time to be out on the road, driving to the hospital. Kate's surgery was scheduled for today, so we were out in this mess by about 4:45am to get to the hospital by 6am. We got here in about an hour, but the surgery was a little delayed, presumably by a doc who was delayed by the weather.
The surgery went well. It took about an hour and half or so before we were called into the recovery room. When we got there, she had been awake about 2 minutes, and boy, was she mad! I don't think she was in pain, but she was mad at everybody and scared. She would tense up whenever someone came near to check the IV or hear her heartbeat. She has slept through most of the day, waking only occasionally for medicine and some milk to drink. About 3:30 she woke up to a few visitors and wanted to play with her tea set and her new stuffed animals. Now she is watching an Elmo video about babies and dogs.
Thanks to all who lifted her (and us) up in prayer. Please continue to pray for her recovery. We think she may have already done some damage to the stitches in her lip by chewing on them - uh-oh. I will hopefully update again soon. Blessings!

Praise God! So glad it is over. Will she have to stay in the hospital a while? Praying for a smooth, quick recovery. Let us know if you need anything at all. Love you guys!!! Stay safe in the weather, The Mullins.
Sorry you had to get out in the messy weather! Glad the surgery went smoothly. I'll be praying that her recovery is as quick and painless as possible!
I pray there is no damage done to the stiches and for a quick recovery and peace of mind for you and Tim both and rest too!!!!!! Love you all The Reeder's.
Thanks for the update.
We've been praying for you guys. We know what it is to have grumpy kids who don't feel well on a smaller degree so we are imagining the days will be tough.
Dear little Kate,
May God bless you and keep you;
God make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
God turn His face toward you and grant you peace.
