She could come home today, but Dr. Swift seems to think she might be better off staying one more night. He was very optimistic in thinking she could come home early because of not having to do all of the extra procedures during the surgery, and he said we could absolutely push it and take her home...it's completely our call. I think one more full day and night of staying here where we can monitor her as she comes off the sedation, and we will be good to come home tomorrow.
We did not do a great job of staying ahead of the pain last night. Zoe has also been heavily sedated, and she seems to be fighting that a little bit. Jay stayed with her last night and said she was up several times crying. He is such a good daddy - cuddling, consoling, tending to her every need and cry - Zoe is one lucky little girl. She is now off of the sedation so she will be waking up when she's ready.
We will move out of ICU this morning hopefully into a regular room. Please come visit if you would like! Or you can come visit at home (tomorrow most likely!!!). Let's pray we find the right mix of love, wisdom, and pain medication dosages to get through these next 2-3 days of head-aches for sweet Zoe.

I am so glad that all went well with her surgery. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.
