Maya's surgery

After Maya's surgery got post-poned last minute, we finally headed to McMaster Hospital in Hamilton on November 14th.

Maya was excited to see the Dr. who will remove her "ball" above her eye.

 All ready with her hospital gown and pj bottoms.  Vitals were taken and off we went for some more waiting.

 You can see the little bump just at the end of her left eyebrow.  A dermoid cyst, which is totally benign, but they will send it for testing just to make sure.

 Maya was very patient as we were waiting for her turn.

 I got to go into the OR with her until she was asleep.  The full body suit will come in handy for painting in the future.

 Maya got to take her blankie with her until she was out.  She did soooo well, no fussing or being scared or nervous with all the strange people and weird surrounding.

 At this point I was probably more nervous that maya was.

 Ready for "the mask that will put the medicine in my tummy to make me sleep"

And back home after a successful operation.  Maya didn't wake up very well from the general anesthetic, but she settled down once we got to the van, she slept most of the way home, and we spend the rest of the day snuggling on the couch and watching TV.
She is really a trooper,  she never complained about pain, and she leaves her eye and her bandage alone.  On Tuesday we go back to the doc to get her stitches removed.  We're glad that everything went so smoothly.  Thank you God for your peace!
