Lizzy's been in surgery for about an hour now. She was very brave this morning and didn't show much fear. It was definitely a hard thing to see her go this morning.
We probably won't hear anything more until around noon. With this surgery, they really don't know how long it will take - could be anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.
This is Lizzy in her cool surgery clothes.
Tammy went with her to the operating room until she was asleep.

Lizzy and the whole Finch family are amazing. You could probably find something a little more stylish to wear, though:)
Love you guys! Praying...!
I was thinking about this very moment this morning. When Julia had her third surgery (the one in Iowa City) they let me come in with her until she was asleep. That was the first time that had been offered. I was go glad to be with her, even for those short few scary moments. I wanted it to be me, her mommy. I wanted to be the last person she saw before she went under and the first person she saw when she came to.
The reason I mention this is because I am so happy they let Tammy go in with her. I am glad they had that moment together. It is so hard to hand your child over to strangers, having faith that they will take care of them.
All will be well. Lizzy is strong and your family is strong.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you this morning.
I'm so glad they let Tammy go in with her. I'm sending bunches of love and lots of prayers your way. Lizzy is such a little trooper and I love her enormously.
I know the wait time while she's in surgery is so hard. Hang in there! I'm also glad they let Tammy go in with her.
When I took Kevin in to pre-op, they had the wrong chart and thought he was there for knee surgery. They quickly figured it out, but I couldn't help but think it they HAD operated on his knee, the poor guy who was there for knee surgery could have gotten Kevin's brain surgery. That would have been surprising.
It is amazing what they can do these days.
How scary! I'm glad things have gone well!
