Surgery Success...

We had a wonderful experience this morning at Scottish Rite for Anna Grace's Deflux procedure. You can see from the above collage what fun we had waiting for the operation. Mommy forgets how fun you can be, silly goose, when you are not in the big sister role having to help care for the little ones around you. Today, we had fun just goofing around and sharing in your contagious giggles. I love the photo of you "getting your groove on" when you made a good basketball shot!

Mommy was a little saddened when you looked up at me with the gas mask on and huge tears filled your eyes. Then, your beautiful blue eyes just closed so softly and your arms went limp. That was when it hit me and I didn't want to leave you in the operating room. The sweet male nurse with rubbing your head and playing with your hair. I could tell from his care and concern, you would be in great hands. The procedure went great. Once they got in, they realized that you actually had it on both sides and so they preformed the procedure for both the left and right. Now, we are just praying it works and you are only due for a few follow up tests.

I surprised you once we were back in the car with a little sewing machine. You have been asking to learn to sew for a while so I promise to teach you soon. This is a perfect first machine for a 5 year old. As soon as we walked in the door from the hospital, you wanted to make a purse. Maybe this weekend we will starting learning.
