Surgery 14

 Just to make sure this is a complete record of all Ari's surgeries, surgery #14 took place on 2/4/21. She did really well and we were able to head home the next morning. At this point, there's really no new info other than another surgery took place.

Note: It turns out this is likely the last one, at least for her back!

Waiting

The surgery in underway and probably most of the way done. We're just waiting now to hear from the doctor which could be a few minutes from now to an hour plus.

In Pre-op

We got here around 7 this morning. Traffic was light so that helped. Around 8 we came back to pre-op. We starting to meet with all of the doctors and all the specialists. We should be heading back for around 9.

In a room

We're up on 10S in room 14. She's still pretty out of it so they're keeping an eye on her, but all her vitals are good and she not in any pain. Time to go down to lunch since my parents are here and can watch over her.

In post-op

It was pretty quick this time. She's still asleep but resting comportably and waiting to go up to a room. All went well with the surgery and we're good for another 9-12 months.
   We'll be here overnight and hopefully heading home early tomorrow.

Asleep and back in the OR.

She went out pretty quick this time. They're getting her ready for surgery now and will give us a call once the actual procedure begins. For now, we're grabbing breakfast and begin waiting.
Lily is at school now thanks to Mom mom Wood. She's worried about Ari so hopefully she has a good day at school.

Waiting to go back

We're back in pre-op waiting to see all the doctors. Surgery is scheduled to start at 8:45. Going over Ari's normal list of things she doesn't like and waiting to start.
