She is in surgery!

Well the day we've dreaded and been anxious for the last year is finally here! She was brave and tried very hard to hold back the tears. No sobbing or anything. They have her some medication to 'relax' her...boy did it so its job. She got giggly and smiley and went back to the OR in the anesthesiologist arms. She really amazed. Instead off trying to be brave for her, she was leading the way. They are going to place an epidural in to block pain to lower extremities and will leave it in for two days. We may not be home until Monday. Depends on pain management. The surgery is about 5-6 hrs so I will update later. Picture is Loopy Lauryn right before we handed her to the anesthesiologist .
