okay guys so Penelope is back in surgery now she's been back for about an hour and they said it's gonna take about three hours for the surgery and then we can go join her in the off every room really thankful for the doctors and nurses here they were super sweet with her really just putting her at ease yeah they're like probably the most personality I've ever seen yeah her support for sure they definitely knew how to interact with her to just help her not have a lot of anxiety and so yeah that's really good I'm very thankful for that yeah I think she's pretty relaxed her and if they took her blood pressure and her heart rate and all that stuff early your Childre I think that any good sign that's a good sign she's really been excited yeah she said she slept really well last night and so I went up there to try to say goodnight to her one more time and she was already completely out snoring away so yeah we'll be back there in just a couple of hours to see her but waiting yeah I'm waiting here and examine Torchy's tacos which I'm eating a bowl it's like the best case of honor in guacamole Victor can you tell we like welcome only guys different flowers from yeah and she comes out of her sedation and hopefully that helps make her we're just gonna hang for a couple hours enjoy some Mexican food that's always a good thing right the best the buzzers going off but anyway that means that nobody's done yeah so we're gonna go here doctor yeah kind of figure out what's going on let's do it hopefully really good yeah guys that was so encouraging I just met with the surgeon he basically said that the surgery went really really well that her tissue was really strong and healthy and good she'd only had one surgery before we thought it was two but only one so there wasn't a lot of scar tissue yeah and he was able to move the muscles over and connect it properly and all that and so while it was a challenging surgery it went really well and so he's very hopeful for her so she's in recovery right now kind of coming out of the anesthesia I think about 30 minutes or so they said we can go back and see her yeah so we can't wait see ya how she's doing yeah she'll be on liquids for two weeks which I thought it had one yeah two weeks um liquids for weeks on soft foods we've got a little bit of a journey ahead so thankful that she did well you can't wait to go see her yeah so what do you do when you're in the waiting room on an extremely rainy day for hours and hours on end in just a moment they lift up on the screen we knew we're having twins that's what you do you watch your

being so brave and so strong a great job okay guys I'm gonna go ahead and head home I was hoping to have the kids face time with penalty before I left but she's all wrong here she is totally out wrong
