Texas Children's Hospital

 
 
 
 


Last Tuesday John and I took Caitie to TCH to have surgery on her ear. She had reconstructive surgery on her ear to cover a large hole that was preventing her from hearing out of that ear. Thanks to lots of prayers, the day went very smoothly. The waiting room at the hospital made Caitie feel like she was there to play and the yellow pajamas they gave her made her very happy! (Yellow is her favorite color.) The surgery went well. As soon as she woke up from the anesthesia, she asked for a Popsicle.

Once we got home, we put her on the couch to watch T.V. and rest. She had no desire to sit and watch a movie. She quickly let me know that she wasn't tired by asking to jump on the trampoline. When I told her that wasn't an option, she said “Then I'm going shopping." In the picture with Bri she is holding her shopping bag with all the things she "bought" from her closet.

After receiving gifts from Kit, Natalie, Rae, and a neighbor, Caitie quickly realized it was the day to get what she wanted. She demanded pancakes for dinner and of course, she got them.
