Zoey is in surgery

Miss Zoey is in surgery and went bravely. She had a good morning and only a few tears. I had run downstairs to get something to eat and when I got back they had her in the stretcher out in the hall. She was crying and scared because Mommy wasn't there. Poor baby! She calmed down fairly quickly and it was smooth sailing after that.

We said good-bye to her little foot and took some photos of it. Mommy kissed it which Zoey thought was very funny.

Thank you so much for all your messages/comments and prayers. It is so encouraging. Zoey got a HUGE smile on her face when I told her that lots of people were praying for her.

Last night one of the nurses braided Zoey's hair in preparation for putting it under the surgical hat for today. She looked so cute!

Pretty girl!

Dr. D. came to check on her this morning and drew on her foot.

Sometimes your thumb is the best comfort available.

Zoey was given a new pink bear this morning to take to surgery with Joy. She named it Karin. Awwww....

Daddy arrived just in time to see Zoey before she was wheeled into surgery. I love how her little arm is around him. They let me go with her into the operating room, hence the beautiful white jumpsuit.
Don't be jealous.

So now we are waiting for her and will get to be with her as soon as she is moved to recovery. Thank you so much for your prayers. They are definitely felt!
