Maude at home this evening 5/30/09
Ouch!
Poor thing! Maude after surgery in her sleeping room.Yesterday Jared and I got up at 5 O'clock am to get ready to take Maude over to Seattle's Children's Hospital to undergo bilateral ureteral re implant surgery. We checked in at 7 O'clock am and at 8 O'clock they were taking her down to surgery. 2 1/2 hours later Maude was in recovery. The surgeon said she did great! 2 hours after being in recovery Maude woke up and was brought into her sleeping room where we were able to finally see her. An hour or so after being in the room with her she asked to get up and walk around. The took out her catheter at around 3 this morning and she has been urinating frequently and on her own since. We were able to go home today due to Maude's fast recovery! The surgeon was almost shocked that she was cruising the halls so quickly. She has been able to keep down the small amounts of food she does consume and we are pushing fluids. i have a few pics I will include in this post. Thanks to all who had her in their prayers. I'm sure that made the difference.
