Well today was the big surgery day. Taylor's muscle biopsy was this morning on her upper right thigh. She was put under general anaesthetic, it was a quick surgery and Dr. Wong said that everything went smoothly. Thankfully she was scheduled for first thing in the morning because she had to fast before the anaesthetic. She was a pretty hungry girl when she came out of it! The incision is about an inch long and will heal in a straight line. He will follow up with us in a month to see how the incision has healed.
Part of the piece they took out goes to Vancouver, the other part goes somewhere in the US. The first results will come back within a couple of weeks, the rest take a bit longer.
Taylor very rarely cries any more so it's hard listening to her sob, she's obviously in a fair bit of pain today. They're giving her Tylenol every four hours, we're trying to avoid giving her codeine. It was just day surgery but they are keeping her overnight because of her history of an arrythmia. I'll be happy to take my girl home in the morning.
