Finally resting

What a long day it is now 7:20pm! Jailyn is doing great for being in such pain! We headed to the hospital at 5am. jailyn went into surgery at 7:53am and didn't come out until 11:50am. We spent 2 hours in the recovery room. I was able to hold her after about 1 hour as she was trying to come out of her deep sleep. She wasn't happy but glad to be in loving arms. I'm not sure she received the same love when she had her lip repaired in China. Jailyn has been in and out of sleep all day, mostly crying for the last 2 1/2 hours. Our surgeon came to see us at 6pm and ordered Tylenol with Codine for the night.
What all did Dr. Fearon do? He repaired her cleft palate, I can't remember the exact term he used for the throat but he repaired that too, Plastic surgery on her lip and nose - hard to explain... and she also had Dr. Peters the ENT put ear tubes in. A lot of work done!
We will not be released until Jailyn can drink. She has not wanted to have anything to do with her bottle this afternoon. Hopefully, the codine wil help ease the pain and she will want to drink tomorrow.
How does she look? Very swollen and very different. Her lip is much fuller and her nose and mouth are much smaller. Still beautiful but looks very different.

Thank you for all of your prayers! Please pray that we are able to get some good sleep tonight!
Love y'all!
Jodi

I am so relieved everything went ok. You were all in my thoughts throughout the day yesterday. I don't want bother you with phone calls, but let me know if you need anything.

I'm so happy this part of her journey is completed.
