We are back home from Stella's surgery. The surgery went smoothly and Stella is such a tough little girl. I think what upset her the most was not the pain, but rather all of the nurses and doctor's poking and prodding her. She is dealing with the pain rather well. She is on Tylenol with Codeine every 4 hours and she hates taking it because it doesn't taste all that great. The nurses and doctor's told us that the first 3 days are going to be especially rough. Our main job is to keep her hydrated, hydrated, hydrated...otherwise, we will have to go back to the hospital to start her on IV fluids. Here is hoping to a speedy and full recovery.
