Annabel is in surgery today

12:30 pm --- Annabel is in surgery right now to have her cleft palate repaired. She has been in there for about 2 1/2 hours. We have had two updates so far and things were great. She has her ear tubes in place and is a little less then half way through the palate repair. She did fantastic this morning considering we woke her up so early and she was not able to eat or drink. She only cried once and that was when they took her temperature. She was afraid of the doctors clothes. After that she was fine and when we said our goodbyes and she left in the arms of the doctor she was smiling. In fact she kept giving him kisses before she went to him. So I guess that was a good sign. He laughed about that. She should be done in about 2-3 more hours. I will post again after she comes out of recovery. God is so good to us as we have a great sense of peace about us right now. Thank you for prayers. Tamara
