A Perfect Heart

On Sunday Miya's friends and cousins dropped by to wish her good luck, along w/ some sweet cards and presents....Thank You, from the bottom of our hearts! On our way to the hospital... Playing w/ toys while waiting. Miya was a little loopy. They had just given her some drugs to calm her down. It was quite funny seeing her tilt her head back, close her eyes, rock from side to side and giggle. Our Family before heading to the OR. Pre surgery...The Amazing Dr Gray who fixed Miyas heart! Post surgery...First time I held Miya after her surgery in the recovery room and our awsome master suite for the night.We could not believe that Miya had a perfect heart and she was in our arms. Best feeling I have felt in 2 yrs!!!! One out of 4 EKGs Miya had to get done. This one was right after her surgery. While holding Miya, she decided her tummy was not settling and threw up all over me. The nurse was so kind to find me this wondelful scrub outfit. Quite cumfy I might add. Miya had to lay flat on her back, legs straight for 6 hrs after her surgery. Let me tell you it wasn't easy but she was so wonderful the whole time. She did it w/ only one small tantrum. Her first "yummy" after surgery...graham cracker. Miya had taken over the only comfy couch in our room so we put her in her bed for a while and was happy as long as she had her show on. The Fam. We were so relieved but now so exhausted! Miyas first wagon ride after her 6 hrs of laying flat were up. She loved it! We were so happy to see a big smile on her face. These were going to be our sleeping accomidations, Me on this couch, most likely w/ miya and stu on the rocking chair until our wonderful nurse brought us a big bed. Our Master Suite! Yea Baby! Our 2 am wagon ride. Miya could not sleep and kept crying through out the night. We finally decided to take her on a wagon ride. She was so happy and we were so dead! We walked around the hospital for about an hr and it made us feel good to see her so happy. No more Mommy!!! This was her last EKG and echo but she could noe longer do it anymore. It broke my heart! I wanted it to be over just as much as she did. Only Daddy could comfort her. It's Over!!! She was so happy...she new she was going to go get "yummmies"... Breakfast "Yuuuummmmyyyy!" She was in heaven eating her breakfast. She wanted no help!! Last Oui! I helped the nurse take her dressings off. The funniest part was when we took her IV bandage of her hand. She looked at her hand and started kissing it and licking it. It was so cute and funny. She just went around saying "YAY!!" while kissing her hand. It's Over!!!! Lets go home and sleep!!!! Miya said goodbye to the elevator fishes. Always have faith and hope!

I am so happy it is over, and that everything went well. The pictures you took documented everything so well. I love the one of Stuart holding her, to comfort her. And also the one of you lying on the couch with Miya. I am so happy she has a healthy heart!
