Gracie's Surgery

Gracie finally had surgery today on her tongue. Dr. Collins did the procedure for us, and he is just awesome! He is a maxiofacail surgeon here in Conway. As most of you know when she was born there was a white bump on the end of her tongue. After asking her doctors about it for two years now, her dentist finally said we should have it checked out. We had a visit with Dr. Collins about two months ago, and we decided to go ahead and have it removed. We had to be at the hospital at 5:30 this morning! They gave Gracie some medicine to help her relax while we waited in her room. She was so funny just talking, but making no sense what so ever! The nurse found her some red sock so she could wear ruby slippers and she had to show everybody!!! All the nurses just loved her. So they took her back and me, Pa, MiMi, and GiGi all went and had some breakfast. By the time we got back to the waiting room they were walking down the hall looking for me. I went back in recovery with here and she was not happy!! So I had to sit there for 30 minutes and try to calm her down. there is a hole in her little tongue were the white bump was. He said that it was a little deep, so I'm glad we got it off there now before it grew in deeper! They are sending it off to a lab to have it checked out. She is doing OK just a little cranky from the anesthesia, but everything went real smooth!!
