So far all is going okay. I went back with Aimee, though they were a little hesitant with how full the room would be. There was already a dozen people in the operating room we came in and the surgeons were not yet in there. We asked that one of the IVs be placed ahead with ultrasound, since that went so well with the last surgery. It didn't go quite as smoothly this time. Aimee ended up panicking as they started running IV at the same time that they were attempting the gas. I was really glad to be in the room with her, but hate that her last minute awake was scared and in pain.
Otherwise, all has gone smoothly and we should hear an update in a couple hours. It sounds like the biggest time variable is how difficult it is to place the screws and grafts at her neck. They hope to do this with simple x-ray, but may have to use a CT scan to get them in right depending.
More scars and a taller girl in the works. Will update when we hear more.
(Unfortunately I can't upload photos with posts from the hospital, so we will have to add a photo update later.)
