Surgery & other plans

Posted by Andrew & Jessica on Monday Sep 17, 2007 Under Mary Elizabeth

First and foremost- here are our surgery dates:

    – This Thursday, September 20th Dr. Waner will do the steroid injection. This had to be done 4-6 weeks after her laser procedure on her tongue, which was about 4 1/2 weeks ago. It is an in and out thing, no recovery etc. 

    – Wednesday, October 10th Dr. Burrows will do the sclerotherapy injection surgery. This was the big surgery that was tricky to schedule. They kindly put us in as soon as she returned from being away (she’s back on the 9th).

We are glad to report that she’s fully over the cold or shall I say "runny trach" that she had. And still has been bouncing around and very happy.

She was thrilled to go to the Open House this weekend of the new class she’s taking! She’s going to love it! She officially starts her class on Tuesday (tomorrow) morning. It’s called "The Little Gym". And they do things like sing songs, do some group activities in a circle, play on the mats, climb, jump and tumble.

So we were out this weekend at that Open House, and also out shopping for a new dresser for her. Since she’s all moved into her new room and her big-girl toddler bed, we need to move all of her clothes over now and she didn’t yet have a dresser in there. The new one is ordered and should be here very soon!  

We have some other great plans for her coming up… Her cousin Evan is coming up the first weekend in October and we’ll do some fall/winter baby clothing shopping, throwing in some picture taking of them in their costumes, and we are going to take them to the farm for some pumpkin picking with the grandmas. And of course celebrate Aunt Michelle’s birthday (an eventful weekend of course!). Some great fun to bring in the harvest season and for her to enjoy before she gets that big surgery.

Though keep in your prayers that she remains healthy and we don’t have any more postponements!!!!
