We got to the hospital around 9:45. They took her right back and got her preped. This is Lillybug preop. They gave her little Jammies to wear and let her play with any toy she wanted. She was is great spirits. We met with the doctor for a few mins, then they put her in a little wagon and we kissed her good bye and told her we loved her. She was so happy and trusting going with the doctor in her wagon. (cute idea)
The surgery took about 30 mins. She was pretty out of it when I went back to post op to see her. It's hard seeing your little baby with tubs and oxygen hooked up to her. He oxygen levels were pretty low so they had her stay over night. Our room was about 12 by 12 with a little bed, rocker and a sink. So small. Only one parent could stay over and I could not NOT be with her. It was hard on Blake to leave us both at the hospital. He's been so good through all this such a good care giver. It was a really long night for Both her and I. She slept and coughed all night and I held her and pounded on her back to loosen up the gunk that was in her chest. she was in a lot of pain.
I told gracie they put a little red light on her toe (oxygen check) so Grace wanted me to take a picture of her toe. didn't come out really great.
Here she is with her Oxygen. Her levels got down to a 71 that night with her oxygen on. They wanted her to be at a steady 90 without oxygen. Around 2:30 am she finally started to come up on her levels. By 7 am she was up to 90 without oxygen. She sounds so much better.
Here she is on the ride home. They have her pretty druged up. Poor little bug. She slept most of the first day back from the hospital. I think she really needed to be home with her family. She asked about Gracie and Emily. She was happy to see them when she got home and they were happy to see her.
I asked her where she hurts and she just opens her mouth. It has been a hard couple of days. She doesn't like to eat or drink. The only things she seems to like right now are yogurt and peanut butter. She might drink Sprite with a straw but it takes a lot to talk her into drinking. What a trooper.
This is the look she gives us. She doesn't look in pain but she isn't smiling. This is Sunday morning. 
I LOVE this picture. This is Gracie and Bayley on New Years Eve. Can you tell they Love each other. So cute. Happy New Years to all. Thanks to those of you who have voiced concerns about Lillybug. She is still in pain but sleeps and sounds so much better. We are so blessed to have the preisthood in our home in order to bless our children and family. Thank you Blake for being Worthy.

Hey guys!
We're finally back from New Hampshire and unpacked so I had a few minutes to go over blogs. What a tropper Lilly is! We're very glad she's doing so much better. I remember when we took ELiza into Primary Children's in Salt Lake. It was a great hospital, but it was still hard to come back into the room after your little ones have had a procedure and see them all hooked up to machines and tubes. It almost makes you angry - like someone has been torturing them. We hope Lil continues to improve. It's all worth it if it fixes the problem.
