Analise's surgery went very well!!!

Right before surgery in my hospital gown
Night before surgery, up since midnight...what is happening tomorrow?!?!



After surgery...just a little bit groggy but I finally get so see Mommy and Daddy!!
Love my new pink casts!!

I'm happy now...finally was able to eat!!
Just received a call from Erik and Dawn.  Surgery was at 8am Philly time and it was quick.  The phone call was also quick because they were able to go in to see Analise, so I am sure more details will follow, but here is a quick summary:
  • They didn't have to shave our Sweet Analise's beautiful blonde hair and were able to put the IV in the chest.  
  • Surgery went very well and Dr. van Bosse does not anticipate any more surgeries on Analise's legs.  (Praise God!!!)  He mentioned that there is a possibility of the need for hip surgery, but we will have to wait and see and even if it was necessary, it would be a few years away.
  • The tendons were very tight, with one side tighter than the other.  
  • Analise was casted and they also positioned her feet so that the Achilles' tendons are stretched
  •  On another subject, they will need to make some adjustments to her new arm braces before she comes home.
We are sure Erik and Dawn are loving up our Sweet Analise at this very moment!!  Thank you all for your continued prayers and support for Analise, Erik, and Dawn.   God heard our prayers!!!
