Surgery Done and Good Report!

We're home! Virginia Grace's surgery was quick and easy. She's asleep in her bed now, sleeping off the anesthesia. (She's also moaning and crying out occasionally in her sleep...I think it was a little traumatic for her to be taken from my arms and carried off. She hasn't had anyone take her away from me since Gotcha Day.)

The tubes were put in her ears, and Dr. Woolley checked her tongue where the teratoma (benign tumor) had been removed. He confirmed that all of the tumor was indeed gone and that her tongue was well-preserved and looked great!! (He was actually surprised given that China doesn't have the best medical care.) We are so thankful, as I couldn't imagine our sweet girl having to endure another surgery right now. Thanks for praying for us! We're rejoicing in the good news!!

Fabulous news! We were blessed that our daughter's palate surgery done in China was done perfectly - since her cleft was in the soft palate only she won't need any additional surgeries!

YAY! Glad she is doing well! Tubes are WONDERFUL - I had them as a child after enduring infection after infection. Haven't had an ear infection since!
