We had a pretty eventful week a couple ago. Mark's parents were up for a visit and we were heading out for lunch with them. I went to change Reese's diaper and I noticed a lump on her groin. I called Mark to look at it. We definitely agreed that it needed to be checked out. She was having her 2 month appointment the very next day.
So I took her into the doctor had him check out her hernia in her belly button, and then the groin area. He agreed that it needed to be looked at further. He was going to send us to a ultrasound tech the next day and the surgeon the next week...
I didn't want to wait that long and I didn't want a doctor that I just met doing surgery on my daughter.
So I was heading to Waco for my sisters surgery anyway, decided to make an appointment with our doctor there. We saw him, he sent us within the hour to his surgeon friends office, they did an ultrasound, and sent us immediately to the hospital where an OR room was waiting for us!
IT WAS CRAZY!
She went into surgery about 3 hours after our appointment with our doctor! She ended up having 3 hernias that were corrected. One was partially obstructed.
And about 2 hours later the doctor came out and said everything went great (just had a problem getting her IV in, so she was all bruised up).
I got to go see her in recovery, but she was sleeping. A friend from dance class was her nurse so I know she was well taken care of!
My sister had surgery the next morning so it was a whirlwind 12 hours!
We spent the next day in the hospital and came home late that night.
Reese is doing great now and is totally different--happy, smiling, sleeping better, eating better, and just like a 10 week old baby should be!
I am very thankful for the amazing doctors and surgeons that took care of her and took time out of their schedule to take such good and quick care of her!
IT WAS A MIRACLE!
Well the pictures uploaded in the complete backwards order...this first picture is of Reese coming home from the hospital after surgery.
This is when Reese was released and we visited my sister 4 doors down.
Right after they got her settled after surgery. They were giving her morphine for pain and it was scary. It gave her jitters, eyes rolling crazy, and terrors! She didn't eat for 11 hours straight! But around lunch the next day, she just all of a sudden came out of everything and was awake and alert. I was thankful because it was not fun watching her that way.
