2 down 2 to go

Well, we are half way through! It's so crazy how quickly this year, that I have been so excited about/so dreading, is flying by. Here are pics from the latest one! Not to be redundant, but I really cannot comprehend the skill of this surgeon. He is so amazing! I will post more pics in about a week when it starts healing more. The spot in the front was where there was a skin tag that was part of her little ear. There were a couple of small stitches but one was stuck to the bandage when they took it off. Actually the stitch removal turned out to be worse than the surgery. She would not allow the ENT to touch her. Since the sutures were so tiny and there were so many they put her to sleep to do it....which means more time at the hospital :). But everything turned out great!

On the way home!!

We are already on the way home!! She did great in surgery and waking up! We just got in the car to head back. She said she wants to be lazy when she gets home and for us to make sure Cowdery doesn't knock her down! No complaints of pain yet so let's hope it stays that way at least until she is comfortably in her bed!

In surgery...

She went back about 830EST so we only have about another hour... Hopefully a little less. At this surgery center they let me dress down and go back to the OR with her until she fell asleep from the gas. She won't remember it though because of the versed they gave her before hand. She was being hilarious! You can tell in the pic below how cracked out she looks! Now C.K. And I are just sitting and waiting, ready for the second step to be over!

Round 2 begins...

We are at the surgery center and waiting on the Dr. They are coming in to give her meds in about 15 minutes. Carolyn had a great night and is ready for today!

Gearing up

We have come to Atlanta for surgery number two! Carolyn is very excited, and we can't wait to get another behind us. Today we met with Dr. Jones and then walked to the hospital for pre registration. Afterwards, we didn't have time to go to the aquarium as planned, so we went to IKEA (the most wonderful place on earth) so Carolyn could spend the "mad money" from Nene! She got a foldable barn! We then had an early dinner and are back at the hotel so we can be at the hospital by 6:00EST. I will post updates tomorrow before and during the surgery!!
