Addison's Surgery

We're sitting in the waiting room at Doernbecher's while Addie is in surgery. As far as it all goes this is considered a "minor" surgery. It's not invasive and it's really just the skin on her head (they're removing her bald spot), but it doesn't feel minor. All I can say about it is that I hope none of my children ever have any serious diseases or hospitalizations because I haven't slept in three days and I cried when they took her to the OR. General Anesthesia freaks me out. You hear stories about people who went under and never came out again, but my baby girl is going to be just fine. I'll post some before and after pictures when we get home (I didn't brink my phone adapter thingy with me and I haven't seen the after yet anyway). Poor baby was so angry with us because we couldn't let her eat, she really likes her milk in the morning. But, alas, clear fluids only and water just doesn't cut it. Paige is with her grandma because we thought it would be easier for her then the waiting game that we have to play and easier for all the other people in the waiting room as well. I can't wait for this to be over, so she can heal, and I can get some sleep. I'll let everyone know how it all goes.
