SURGERY

Alexis had her surgery the yesterday. All went well. The surgery lasted all of 5 minutes and about the same for her to wake up. She was not happy when she woke up though. She screamed for about 45 monutes uncontollably. Apparently that is normal. She was confused, in pain and didn't know why she was feeling so funny. For all you new moms out there, I would not reccommend going into the OR with your child while they put them under. It must have been the scariest thing that I have ever encountered. She screamed when they put the mask on her. She let out 3 huge screams, then it was completly silent, just suddenly. She was holding onto my hand and then it suddenly went completly limp. I leaned over to kiss her cheek and she was cold and wimpering while she was breathing. She just didn't look right. Anyway, it is done and now we hope that we don't have to do it again. The tubes stay in for 4 to 6 months. They will fall out on their own. She can not get any water in her ears. She can only have a few inched in her bath. This summer is going to suck. She can go in lakes and stuff, but no putting her head under the water. That means, she can't do it, neither can we. It just wouldn't be fair. We decorated her room before the surgery. I don't have any pictures of it to post, but it is very sweet. It is your regular little girls room. She has pretty curtains up, sheers with butterfly cutouts stiched on. A princess kitchen, her unicorn hanging from the ceiling, her princess dress up trunk and a pink flower light hanging on her wall. I will have to take a picture. It looks so sweet. She is very proud of her room. She will take you by the hand and lead you to her romm saying "come come". Jennah is doing great, growing lots. Always eating. Lots of smiles, she just looks at you and smiles. We are so lucky to have such happy kids. Dillon got straight A's on his report card again. We are so proud of that boy. I swear he gets his brains from his dad. Quinn is a wiz when it comes to school and retaining new information. They both have a memory like an elephant, they never forget. Anyway, Chrissy and Bill's weddings are coming along. Bill and Kristin sent out their invitations. I think Chrissy is starting to think about getting them started. She likes to leave things to the last minute. Everyone else is doing great though. Nothing overly exciting happening. Oh THE OILERS WON!!!! They only lost 11 in a row. lol.
