Whew...

Boy, it is sure good to see the light in our baby's eyes again!

You all were right, the Preia-cat's back in loving angel mode.

5pm - not on speaking terms with us
6pm - did poke her head out to see where I was going when I went out to a meeting
9pm - came out from under the bed to see if it was me when I returned
10pm - repeated process for Emmett who went out to get us some Taco Bell
10:05pm - allowed me to pick her up and put her in my lap. Did not purr.
10:30pm - consented to lick sour cream off of nachoes that we put in front of her as we noshed and watched Lilo and Stitch (good movie btw).
Midnight - sat under the computer desk while we typed
1am - crept under the bed when we went to bed, then decided that she'd come join us at the foot of the bed. Actually purred when Emmett petted her! We've achieved purr!
?am - came up and snuggled in her usual spot between us :-)
9am - was happy to be petted in bed 'til I got up, and is still curled up with Emmett now.

Ah, relief...

Thanks very much to all of you who supported us through this process!

Geri, hoping the stitches-removal in 2 weeks won't be as traumatic
