Friday morning (June 13th), LakeLynn had surgery at Children's South. Our original plans were almost ruined when my alarm did not go off! Full panic mode when I looked at my phone & the time said 6:00 am! We have to leave in 30 min max! Thank goodness I packed everything the night before. While I got ready, Logan packed the car. While Logan got ready, I grabbed Lake out of bed in to change her diaper & put her in the car. Coco was at our house to stay with Stryker while we went to the hospital. I kept her distracted from wanting her morning sippy cup of milk while we waited. It wasn't long before we were called back for prep. She loved being pushed around on various riding toys before being called back for surgery. She was taken to the OR by 8am & back in my arms before 9am. Dr. Wiatrak is a great ENT & gave a good report on Lake. Her old tubes were removed, both ears irrigated (lots of gluish fluid behind right tube), new tubes replaced which have antibacterial coating on them, & adenoids removed which were enlarged. Things for LakeLynn can definitely only get better! Praise The Lord for such a good recovery - last picture shows her riding with Stryker down the street late that afternoon. Stryker enjoyed a special day with Coco - riding a golf cart at Coco's work & movie that morning followed by lunch & dessert at Savage's, picking a toy out at the toy store (he also picked out a toy for LakeLynn), & playing at the park. LakeLynn was able to come home & sleep off the anesthesia without Stryker making a lot of noise. I left for a MD appt which Logan was able to give me lots of updates on how LakeLynn was doing - yes, this might have been excessive but this momma hated to leave her. To make it worse, I arrived home only to have Logan drive me to my retina specialist. My lattice degeneration causing signs of possible retina detachment was the reason they instructed me to come to the office immediately. Coco was on duty for keeping us updated on LakeLynn. Around 6pm, I was sitting comfortably at home with my baby girl in arms. LakeLynn's recovery has been quick allowing her to enjoy her swimming lessons this morning (Saturday, June 14th) which were outside. Appreciate everyone's prayers for our precious daughter.
