Poor Little Hayden

Hayden survived her first laser surgery for her hemangioma yesterday morning.  We had to be at Children's at 6:00am for her 8:00 surgery.  She was so good!  She just played and laughed the whole time we waited.  They asked about 200 questions, took all of her vital signs, and put her in the cutest little scrubs I have ever seen.  The nurses were all so great and they all loved Hayden. All of the other kids that were there for the laser surgeries were rolled in their beds down to the OR, but the nurse wanted to carry Hayden down.  They laughed and talked all the way down the hall, and stopped to say hi to everyone.  Thats when I lost it! :)  But, the surgery went by so fast. She was pretty upset when she got out, but she relaxed after a little while.  

Her poor little eye is completely swollen shut.  At first, she was pretty confused and kept trying to rub it.  But, now she is getting used to it.  She looks so pitiful!!!  I won't post any pictures, because it is pretty scary looking right now.  Maybe when the swelling goes down a little I will take some.

Thank you everyone for your sweet text messages, voicemails, and FB messages.  It meant a lot to know that you were praying for Hayden and thinking about us!!

First of all, how did I not know you have a blog??? I just read your comment on mine and then clicked on your name and saw the link to your blog. So happy to have another blogging buddy! :)
Since I'm writing this one week post-surgery, I hope that Hayden is doing much better by now and that all her swelling is gone. So glad the procedure went well!
