Hadley's 2nd Cast

We are finally back from getting Hadley's 2nd Cast put on! The overall procedure we feel went pretty well. We got to the hotel last night rather late because of rush hour. Then right away ate dinner since we were all starving. Then we hung out and gave Hadley her last bath that she'll be able to have for awhile. Then went to bed.
The next morning, we had to be at the Hospital at 6AM. After we arrived, we were sent to radiology right away to get an xray of Hadley so we could finally see any results from the cast. Right after that, we had to get Hadley in the pre-op room so they could prepare her for the procedure. The Doctor was waiting for her since she was the only one being casted so everybody was kind of rushing around... Hadley took some medication to make her a bit sleepy; however, they took her before it actually started working so as they were rolling her away in her bed, she was screaming. It was very hard for Andy and I to see that!
In the meantime, Andy and I went to the cafeteria for some coffee and breakfast to take our mind off her, then we headed back up to the waiting room. Not long after that, the Dr came out with all the news: Now, Keep in mind, We were told not to expect any correction on her back with the first couple casts... BUT God took control and gave us something completely out of the ordinary. He gave us a correction of 27 degrees. Not only is that amazing for the 1st cast, but from a curve being 74 degrees! When it comes to trusting God, statistics mean nothing! HADLEY NOW HAS A 47 DEGREE CURVE!!!!!! That is ALL God's work! The Doctor came out surprised and extremely happy to tell us the news! He said there is a much better rotation as well which is awesome! We were ecstatic! Thanks GOD! After telling us such amazing news, he also told us he was able to get her curve down to 12 degrees in her new cast. That is just amazing as well! So, we are praying for even more correction next time, but only God can tell!
After all the awesome news, we had to wait a little longer until we got to see our little babes! But we finally got to go back there, and Hadley was not happy. Actually she was plain miserable. She wouldn't stop crying. She had dry tears because she was so dehydrated. Her eyes were puffy marshmallows. And she couldn't barely cry or make any sounds because her throat was so hoarse from the tube that was put down her little nose. She was in bad shape. It took us a good couple hours to get her into a decent shape. We gave her 3 Popsicles and that helped, but she was still in bad shape. They then had to tape her cast up which made things a little worse. But finally we were done and ready to go. She again got lots of little presents! Its like Christmas every time we go there! :) She deserves it though for what she goes through!
We finally got her in the car and drove home. She's still struggling, but is a bit better. She's just very soar, tired, and irritated from the anesthetics. She is still hoarse, but sounds a little better after a couple more Popsicles! She still wont let us put her down so we don't know what she's like on the floor yet, but in her crib she could not get up, so it might just take a little while for her to adjust to a cast again.
Were hoping for some improvements tomorrow!
Thanks for all your prayers and love! It worked, God answered our prayers! Thank you!!!!!
