Karleigh Update

Karleigh had surgery yesterday up at Primary's. She went in for Ear Tubes and a nasal scope to possibly remove her adnoide. Well she had fluid in both ears so they had to drain them then insert the tubes. Then they did the scope and found that her adnoide was large enough to remove. He said on a scale 1-4 it was a 31/2to 4 So he removed that. I didn't realize I guess that the adnoide surgery was a little more intense. She did great. Yet she struggled with her oxygen coming out of anesthesia. So she had to be on supplemental oxygen for a couple of hours after. She is doing great now. Just in pain. Though happy most of the time. She is such a trooper. what a way to start a life eh! Preston and Colton both had tubes put in so I was not worried about that but the adnoides was a little more intrusive. Any how. We are doing good.

She is really starting to "talk" She waves bu bye and says it too. She babbles alot and I swear I hear words in between the babble. If I repeat them to her sometimes she looks at me and smiles and puts her head down in a shy manner. So I really think she says things. She loves her brothers and Colton is so quick to play with her and help her when she is crying.

I can't believe how much your last two babies look alike. The last picture that I saw of Karleigh she was newborn. She is darling. It is so fun to have girls hUH? Boys are loads of fun as well, lets just face it. How boring would life be without the fun"stress" of kids. I am glad that the surgery went well. Anesthesia always scares me. I am glad that she is recovering quickly. We won't be down for the reunion, In fact I don't know when I will see you again, so I am grateful for your blog. It's great to keep in touch.

Hope Karleigh recovers soon and all is well with her ears and adnoids! She is a very pretty little girl:)

I am glad that Karleigh is OK. Hospitals are never fun.
But it does make it a little better to have done it before. I am for Edward, I keep hoping that Greg will turn into a Vampire, but then I think He might not like the flavor of my blood.
