We are home from the hospital

We are home and things are going as well as can be expected. The surgery took 2 hours but both the plastic surgeon and the ENT thought everything went great. She cried off and on all night long except for an hour between 3 and 4 am, where she was strangely tranquil, but wide awake. We watched reruns of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air (you can't be picky at 3am) She was refusing to eat so it looked like we would be staying a second night when she finally started to eat at lunch this afternoon. We forced her to have a little juice for a snack so they would let us leave and as we were getting ready to go there was a tornado warning for our county so they wouldn't let us leave and gathered all the patients in the hallways. They brought her dinner as we waited out the storm and she did eat a bunch of that so I felt better about bringing her home. Once home, she perked up and actually ate some mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. The hard part is with her arm restraints. She is a finger sucker at bedtime and it is so pathetic watching her try to figure out a way to get those fingers in her mouth. Provided everything heals well, she will be released from the restriants in 3 weeks and is finished with surgery until she is 4 or 5.
