Haleigh was out of surgery around 10:00 and in her room around 12:00. The doctor said the surgery went very well was very pleased with the outcome of the surgery. She has been very restless and asking to go home. She wants the halo off of her leg, she says it is too heavy. Over all she is doing okay. Please continue to pray for her to adjust to having this halo on her leg. She is in some pain but this was expected - we only hope that the pain subsides as time goes on. I believe that she expected to wake up and her leg would be fixed. The more she wakes up the more she realizes that this is different and she does not understand that this is a 5 or 6 month process. Rachel and I had our moment as she went into surgery but we now feel much better that she is awake and responsive. She is crying now but she just received some more pain medicine and I would expect her to doze back off in a few minutes. Thank you to the friends and family that came and sat with Rachel and I while she was in surgery. Your support meant the world to us and the conversation with you guys helped to take our minds off the surgery for the time you were here. We would also like to thank everyone for the supportive phone calls. Thanks again for every ones support and prayers and we love you all.
P.S. She fell back asleep before I could finish typing. She is resting now. - OOOPS I spoke to soon, she is awake again. It's going to be a long night.
David & Rachel

So glad to hear the good news of a successful surgery! God is good! Although, He is always good, no matter what comes our way, good or bad! Isn't it sweet to know we can rest in Him no matter what our circumstances? Please tell Haleigh that I will think of her and pray for her while I paint the walls!
ReplyDeleteWe have been praying for yall as a family, we all know prayer in numbers is awesome!! Last night when I said "Ok yall say your prayers" Blake started in with "Now I lay me" and Brooke said "No not tonight we are doing something different, Mom is Haleigh still in the hospital?" Of course I said yes and she proceeded to pray for yall for about 10 minutes. My point is even with the little bits yall are a constant on our minds and we are thinking and praying for yall!!
