Surgery Went Very Well

The doctors are super-pleased, and Willow reacted as well as possible. She had a rough day (Monday, post surgery), but today (Tuesday), she is feeling much better and is hungry :) Glad to have this hurdle behind her now.

I will post pictures soon. She's quite swollen, and her surgical site and steri-strip covering are encrusted in blood; we can't clean them, but rather are instructed to bathe her as normal (water will loosen the gunk) and let them fall off when they want to.

We watched the movie Nemo again. To remind you, Nemo was born with a fin that is smaller than the others: he and his Dad call it his "lucky fin". Willow has a lucky nose and lip.

Thank you for all your prayers and well-wishes.

Meryl, Willow, Chris, Chloe, and Gus
