Surgery is done

Kaitlyn had her umbilical hernia repair surgery this morning at 7:30am. We were at the hospital at 5:30am where she got checked in and given a "cocktail" of medications to help calm her so she'd be ready for the anesthesia. The doctor stopped in at 7:20am, and she was taken back. The surgeon came to talk to us at 8:30am and said that everything went well. The only complication they had was that they had a difficult time getting her IV in, so she had 4 sticks before it worked. She didn't fight the anesthesia at all. She was crying once she got back to our room after an hour in recovery. It took awhile to calm her down, but after some juice, naps, and milk, we headed home. We were here by 12:30pm, and after lunch everyone got a nap. She was rather fussy all day, but after dinner tonight she was much more like herself. Giggling, playing with toys. :) She'll be kept quiet for the next couple of days (well, as quiet was possible) and we have to keep an eye out for possible complications, but so far so good.

Kaitlyn had her 1 year developmental appointment yesterday and did great. She is right on for where she should be right now. She showed off with her favorite game, "that," where she points at stuff and wants to know all about it. She had fun playing with the toys and toddling around. She's still mainly crawling, but will take about 4-5 steps on her own before giving up. She goes back in 6 months.

We're still on track for surgery Friday morning. We'll be at the hospital at 5:30am for her surgery at 7:30am. I will update as soon as I can. Chances are that my Facebook page will be the best place to look first, since I can update that from my phone pretty easily.

Surgery was postponed

Kaitlyn did not have her surgery today, it has been rescheduled for March 20th. She caught a cold so it had to be put off. She is now much better, after going to the doctor on Saturday and getting antibiotics. She is now finally sleeping instead of just coughing.
