Today was Katlyn's surgery to fix her blocked tear ducts. It went really well, but was a very long day! I must say we are very blessed to have a healthy baby girl and we pray this will be the only thing we have to deal with like this and have gained even more respect for our friends and family members who have had to go through much more than we can even imagine!! Matt and I woke up at 4 and got Katlyn out of bed right before leaving at 4:30. We had to be there by 6 and the surgery was to start at 7:40. Everyone at Children's Healthcare took really good care of us, yes, us, because they were really sweet making sure Matt and I were ok as well as our little pumpkin! Matt went back to the operating room with Katlyn and waited until they had put her to sleep. I couldn't have done it, but was so glad Matt was willing to, although he said he would rather not go through that ever again! She was back with us in about 10 minutes and already waking up when they wheeled her in to us. She woke up like a BEAR!! She cried and screamed while they finished checking her out and for about an hour after that, but then fell asleep in the car on the way home! Dr. Greenberg said the procedure is 90% sure to fix the blocked ducts and we will know in 3-4 weeks. He said they were more blocked than he had thought this morning. There are no restrictions so we are back to life with our sweet little munchkin and thanking God everything went well for the three of us! Everyone is so right, though....it must be harder on Mommy and Daddy than on the little one!! Thanks for all the prayers, texts, emails, and calls!
Daddy and Katlyn waiting.
Mommy and Katlyn. She got to pick out a toy before her surgery...okay, I picked it out, but at least I picked it out for her...I saw a Dad get a slinky for his little baby and get it out and start playing with it himself!!
A little afternoon nap after a very long day!
Still sleepy and taking a rest on Daddy! See those bright eyes, though!
