Dr. Goldin came out of the OR at about 12:40 and said everything went well. No need for a larger incision and the procedure went perfectly. I was called back to the recovery room about 40 minutes later. Maddy was wide awake and in pain but she looked good. They got her some more pain meds and she started feeling better quickly. After that she was sitting up in bed drinking ice water in no time flat. The girl is driven! She wants to be out of here as quick as she can. The doctor had mentioned that after the surgery a lot of patients, especially CF patients, find that they can't burp. This causes bloating that can be pretty uncomfortable. To our surprise Maddy was burping right away. Looks like that may not be much of an issue for her. I am hoping it's a sign that she will recover quickly.
We got back up to her room on the 8th floor by about 2:45 and Maddy is resting now. I'm going to go downstairs and eat for the first time today. Hopefully she will get a little rest this afternoon and tonight and be ready to go home tomorrow.
