Here we are awaiting surgery. (and your Mommy is tired already because she didn't get much rest yesterday.) We arrived at 6:30 a.m and I had visions of a very unhappy and hungry baby, but you were happy and alert and then slept like a champ. We couldn't have asked for an easier transition into surgery.
We had to document head shape so we can compare a year from now.
Grandpa Ward came along to see you off before surgery.
First picture post-surgery..what a sweetie. You were truly a champ. A bit groggy and swollen in your tiffany blue hospital gown, but doing great.
Grandpa Smith came back over later that night spoil you and give Mommy a break. You were very snuggly.
Here's our bright-eyed girl! Your nurse today took one look at you and said, "Awww..I'm lucky!" She was grateful to have a cutie like you to take care of today. It made Mommy feel good to hear that!
2pm on day 2 - You are headed home! Our nurse today fixed your cran cap so it had braids. I can tell you are a bit puffy here.
At home and all smiles the next morning!
Caroline insisted we put your cran cap back on the next morning- to cover your boo-boos!
And she insisted on wearing hers, too! The nurse thought it would be fun if big sister had her own hat too and she loves it! Caroline had a fever for your first 24 hours home, but today she is finally up and about and able to enjoy her sister again. We love you Lucy Bug! You are doing great and we have an appointment to get your helmet on Monday.
