Superhip 2 complete.
Dr. Paley said it "went beautifully".
We spent the night in PICU because of the complexity of the surgery but Sadie is truly in good spirits. I slept in the bed with her with lots of cuddle requests. I am not a medical person and could never be a nurse but it's amazing what you can do when it's your own child.
She's a soldier, a survivor, she has a new hip, and today is a new day and we can only recover from here.
She has a fixator on her hip that she will wear for 3 months, then we will come back down for a minor surgery to remove it. She has an epidural right now and will keep it through tomorrow we think. Moving to a regular room today.
Have you comprehended yet that this amazing superhuman doctor created this surgery, is the only person in the world to do it, and has now CORRECTED her hip that was not formed correctly at birth???? If that doesn't blow your mind....
Anyway more updates to come.
Go Sadie go!!!
I hope we can never go through a day as rough as yesterday again.
Thank you for all the love and support!!
Congratulations family!!
