first surgery is over

Makenzie had her first surgery this afternoon, and the doctor said that it went even better than he'd expected. She's in some pain right now because the numbing medicine has worn off, and she can't take any pain meds for another hour. She has to stay quiet for the rest of today and tomorrow, but she might be able to go to the cabin with the rest of the family (except Seth and me -- we don't go to the cabin) on Friday and Saturday. It depends on how she's feeling. She has to eat soft things like pudding, scrambled eggs, yogurt, ice cream, etc. for at least a week. We went to Walmart this morning and bought some new movies to entertain her while she has to lie still in bed for a day or two. She's being very brave and not whining or complaining at all!
