The Princess Goes To Surgery

Princess Ella had her surgery on Friday to remove her tonsils and adenoids! She did SUPER! I was so proud of her! She was very BRAVE! Jay and I waited to tell her about the surgery until last Sunday! We explained everything to her and then at her pre-op visit on Tuesday her Doctor explained everything to her as well! We prayed for Jesus to help us all be brave and to hold our hands! When we were taken back to the pre-op room above there was a cross with Jesus on the wall that Ella Grace noticed. She said, "Look Mom! It's Jesus's wand and he is going to hold my hand!" It was so precious! She had a teddy bear waiting on her bed when she arrived that she

named "Bumblebee." Of course Bumblebee was quickly dressed in a dress when we arrived home! Thank you to everyone for praying for our family during this time! We are on our road to recovery and she is doing great! Here are some pictures from Ella's big day!

Ra Ra came to visit the night before and brought the girls suprises! They love surprises! I love how they wait so patiently with their little hands folded out and their eyes closed! The girls got perfect matching "lounge" wear for the next few days! Pink princess sleeping gowns! We had movie night the night before surgery! Everyone was there, even blankie! Don't you like how "blankie" has her own "spot?" Ella Grace and her Daddy in the waiting room! Ella Grace was all smiles and was actually dancing to the music that was playing in the lobby! Such a brave girl she was!Mommy was trying very hard to be brave just like Ella Grace. I'll admit though after they took her away I had a little mommy moment! Getting ready to go! And guess what? Blankie even got to go with her to surgery! How special!

After a few hours of recovery and few naps we were all smiles again! She has had lots of ice cream, popsicles, homemade mashed potatoes, and smoothies! She is doing excellent and getting excited about her trip to Carowinds after she fully recovers! Thank you Gran Sandy and Greatmommy for coming to visit and for all the goodies! And thank you Paw Paw Jerry and Doo Dad for calling to check on me! We love you all!
