April 22, 2006...Sierra is home and recovering from such a tramatic couple of days. She had her tubes put in first and then Dr. Hansen did her cleft lip surgery. She woke up so confused and angry.....but I don't blame her!!!!! She did not like being connect to an IV and all the other machines in recovrey. She was in and out of it for the first couple hours by waking up and then almost immediatley going back to sleep. But what a trooper she is!!! She got use to wearing her elbow splints and being hooked up to the IV pretty quickly!! By the afternoon she was pretty hungrey but who wouldn't be since it was over 16 hours since she had anything. I have to say she looks so awesome!!!!!!!! When she first came out of surgery she was very swollen and she looked so much like her good friend Kiana who has such beautiful chubby cheeks. Well, this morning, her swelling is going down on her right side but her left side is still pretty swollen. She continues to eat very well and she is now drinking from a regular cup independently. Very happy to see that because now we can get ride of her sippy cup. Her personality is coming back which is another good sign. Once again thank you for all your prayers and support. You are all so awesome and we are so blessed to have you in our lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
