Post-Op Day Number One

Sydney received balloons from Grandma and Grandpa Richardson, Uncle Steve, Aunt Mary, Madie, Jack and Hadie.

This picture is actually the night of surgery after we arrived back at the hotel.

Sydney has done very well except for some mild pain and restless sleep Friday night. Today, mom and Sydney stayed at the hotel to rest while Ian and I ventured out to Simi Valley. There we went to the Ronald Reagan presidential library and museum. There on display is the most recently retired Air Force One plane. We were able to tour this which was quite exciting for both of us. This plane was used from 1973 with Nixon up until 2001 when George W. Bush used it for one mission. We also were able to see one of President Reagan's limousines, a exact replica of the oval office, and President Reagan's final resting place. On special display was one of the original copies of the Magna Carta dating back to 1215.
Sydney continues to do well and we thank everyone for their prayers and support. In fact she is doing so well , she has put in a request to go to the American Girl Store tomorrow. Other than not wanting to take her medicine, she seems to be tolerating this surgery very well.
