They finally took Audrey back and got started. We spent a couple of hours waiting for the doctor to arrive. He was held up at some other procedures earlier in the morning so he was running way behind. Holly wheeled Audrey around in a wheelchair for a long time to keep her occupied. She didn't seem to be too nervous. By the time they were ready for her to go back she had already managed to locate and place about a dozen band-aids on different places on her body.
They finally took her back at about 2:30. She seemed to get a little more nervous when she say Holly and I in our little bunny suits. Holly managed to keep her calm until we walked her back to the OR. Once there we quickly got her connected to the gas mask and she drifted off pretty quick. She was only awake long enough for me to make some big promises about fantastically fun things we'll do when she wakes us (hopefully she won't remember any of that). We hope she will be done between 4:00 and 4:30. Will report in later.

Audrey's Surgery Part 1
We're at the hospital right now waiting for them to take us back for Audrey's surgery. I'm hoping there won't be many updates. Just enough to say that everything went well and it's over. Will update as things progress. So far Audrey isn't nervous because she doesn't have a clue what's going on. I just hope that it stays that way. It's always so hard to watch them "gas" your kid.
