Follow up appt

Today we had natalie's surgery follow up appt, it went really well, but for some reason they switch doctors on us. I wanted her to see the one who has seen her since birth, but when we got there they said we were seeing a different one. Our regular doctor is pregnant so I thought she must have had her baby, but nope she was there seeing patients. I dont get why they would switch her, but the doctor she did see was very nice. So, Natalie is doing great and heal perfectly. My only complaint is that now she has horrible nightmares and is sleeping in our bed again. Bad thing, she sleeps sideways in our bed for some reason, so our king size bed feels like we are sleeping in a twin she takes up so much room. She also cries and screams and asks for drinks all night long. I feel so bad for her, but at the same time I can't wait to get her back in her own bed. This doctor said to give her a few more weeks.

We are home at last

We made it home late last night! Natalie is doing great. She is very hyper and we are actually having to make her rest. I am so scared she is going to trip and hurt her self, but the doctor said to let her play! She is on two medications, but neither are for pain. She can take Tylenol if she complains of pain, but she hasn't needed to. So I want to thank all of you for all your prayers and praise God for her fast recovery! We came straight to my sister's house and picked up Landon who now feels like he has gained 10lbs (thanks a lot Jenifer). We missed him sooooo much. He has a little cold or something that I am a little worried might be contagious, but my mom said it sounds like sinus drainage. We are going to try and get him to the doctor today. I will post a new picture of Natalie and her healing belly soon!

Surgery went great!

Sorry I havent updated in a long time. We just got our own room at ACH. Natalie's surgery went great. The first 48 hours were a nightmare, but after that she started waking up longer and amiling a little. My mom and I tok turns holding her because thats all she wanted when she was a wake. The nurses here are all amazing! Natalie cries ever time one comes in her room though. Today is day 3 after surgery and she is on no meds except meds to flush her kidneys of all the meds she was on. And she has spent most of the day destroying the play room! They completely fixed her heart so no more surgery for this baby! Oh and she is now part cow, her hole was patched with cow heart lol. moooo. Here is a link to her surgery album.
