Hi all,
Greetings from the library at the hospital. Elizabeth's op went really well. She got back from Theatre to her room at about 12pm. It's amazing - she has a flat stomach !! There's a transparent dressing over the wound so you can see exactly what it's like. She's morphined up and other than the odd jitter - a side-effect of morphine - is very comfortable. She just has a whiff of oxygen from a mask put at the side of her head. Other than that she's got a saline drip to keep her going and a sensor to monitor her oxygen saturation... and that's it. She's got great colour in her cheeks, and looks really well.
Mr Jaffray was very happy with how the op went; he did get muscle closure and he did create Elizabeth a belly button of sorts. He mentioned that there might be a hernia of some sort just below Anna's ribcage, but that he wasn't worried about it. We haven't spoken to him about what, if anything, he would do about it. I guess it'll probably wait until Elizabeth's older.
Anyway, I'm off to get chocolate and then back to the ward!
Ax

Really pleased it's all gone so well, you must be very relieved. I don't know why I was so worried, she's a real fighter! Will join the London contingent and toast Anna and you guys from up here in the (very) frozen Dundee this evening.

Fantastic News! Thank you for keeping us informed of Anna’s progress! We think you have all been so strong and brave during the whole of Anna’s life. To make sense to your followers who do not know us, I am Andrew’s uncle. (I am the brother of his father!)
We have been following your web site since the start in May and we have marvelled at your great ability to stay calm and re assuring for those parents in a similar position. I have deliberately not looked at your site earlier today, thinking you were too busy to update the site , and when I looked at 9.00pm I found you had already done so! Because my typing is so slow, I am typing this in word and, hopefully copy and paste it into the comments of your site. There is a first for everything! And I haven’t a clue how to get into that!
Well done again, you are all wonderful fighters and give them all a big hug from their Aunt Joan and Uncle Allen and we look forward to seeing you all soon!
