After an amazing nine hours of surgery, Isabel's surgeons met with Kari, Adam, and their families to deliver the following pieces of information:
1) The surgery went well, so well that Dr. Cherney was actually able to release and reposition more of the coronal suture than previously expected, hence her additional hours in the OR.
2) Isabel was very stable throughout, and experienced only two ounces of blood loss.
3) There were no complications, including no accidental damage to her brain or the very thin membrane encasing her brain.
4) Isabel, who is resting comfortably, will have a CAT scan tomorrow to check for bruising or blood on the brain, but everything looks great right now.
In a frightening and difficult situation, this was the best possible news to receive. Isabel's family extends the most heartfelt of thanks to their amazing community of friends and family. Your kind words, thoughts, gestures, and prayers have meant more than could ever be expressed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, and God bless you all.

I've come over from your Bean Paste blog and have been praying for Isabel since the February 25th post.
I won't stop until she's out of the woods and into the sunny fields! (BTW it's very easy to remember about your Isabel, because I've got one of my own ... Isabelle-Rose.)
Sending thoughts and prayers your way.
She's beautiful!!!
Good news indeed. Been thinking about that precious baby girl so much! Many healing thoughts surround her.
Beautiful baby! I am so glad that the surgery went well. Continuing to send lots of loving thoughts and energy her way. Keep up the great work Isabel! Give her a kiss for me.
Awesome. I have been saying little prayers all weekend.

What great news! What a little fighter.
I'm so glad she's doing well! You've been in my thoughts.
Who says that there aren't any miracles, miracles of science, of love, of faith? Wonder-full. And still praying...
