VNS implanted

Well, the middle child got her Vagal Nerve Stimulator implanted. Her surgery was scheduled for 9am on Friday and she was home by 1pm that same day. The doc says she lost about one cc of blood which is indicative of a very successful procedure. We finally took the bandages off today and got to see the scars. They're still a bit red and puffy but she has a lot more mobility already. We won't get the device turned on until a couple of days after Christmas. The medicos want to be sure she is completely healed before we add the next variable.

The above was composed on the date listed but not posted until nearly a week later. I was trying to find a way of posting some digital pix we took during the process and once she came home but never did.
