We met Chris and Polly at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center - Old Holy Cross Hospital - at 6:00 am Thursday morning for her throat surgery.
Polly taking out her contacts before being taken to the Operating Room - she makes friends so easy...the admitting lady gave her a high five when we left the admitting office. The prep nurse gave her a hug as they wheeled the gurney down the hall - another nurse that had given them the ICU Tour the day before, also stopped the gurney and gave her a hug... of course we and Chris got hugs and kisses!
After four hours - she is still smiling! WE WERE ALL SMILING because of the success of the doctor who was able to get all the growth out without 'cracking her chest' - doctor told us he was almost finished and just had a little bit to go and couldn't finish. He thought to try another way or another method or something - we know it was an answer to all our prayers, fasting and faith! He was successful! Chris said tonight that Polly would be able to come home on Saturday morning....yay!
The Old Chapel at Holy Cross College - a nursing college.
Lindsey was in Salt Lake with work and had the girls at Fairbanks - she brought them over to the hospital and I stayed with them while she and Dad went up to see Polly... We have the cutest grandkids ever! Olivia told me: "I wish I was 13!" I asked her why - she said: "So I can see Aunt Polly's growth!" What a little scientist!!
Two pretty Smith sisters - one a little more comfortable than the other one!
