DAY ONE: THANK you all for your prayers and words today- it was a long day for sure! God gave Wynter a sweet gift of snow this morning before going down to pre-op. She did great through all the "talk"- then screamed as we put her under around 7:30am here. It took them a while longer than anticipated to really begin, because they had a hard time getting all her IV's/ CATH/ Arterial line in ( bruised all up and down both arms and legs), and had some trouble getting the halo and screws right- She has 6 screws in her head- but seven holes- one had to be repositioned. It was 10:30 before all that was done and they were ready to open her up. Dr. Samdani said her bones looked great and things couldn't have gone better despite, her vital tanking once and she did need blood. No complications! She still has a breathing tube in (needs O2) a drain in her cervical spine- still draining a lot of blood, a cath to monitor output and many other IV lines and wires..... Thankfully she should stay under most of tonight- tomorrow will be a lot harder- trying to manage pain. She is on an antibiotic, sedative, heavy pain meds and more....her vitals are up and down, but there is a great staff here and they are doing a great job! Praying tonight is uneventful and that tomorrow as she starts to wake- we can help her manage the pain! Pray for her skin- she is getting real dry and bleeding- especially around her mouth and face. THANKS- GOODNIGHT!
