Little does Natalie know that she will be going into surgery tomorrow morning. The sad part is, we know it, and it hurts me to put her through it. However, she has to get better now doesn't she? Tomorrow at 8:15 a.m., Natalie will be having her adenoids removed, tubes put into both ears, and her frenulum (the thin muscle under her tongue) will be "clipped" so she will not have speech problems later. It is a pretty quick procedure, but she will still have to be anesthesized and I think that is what bothers me the most at this point. Brian will be bringing her into the OR as I cannot stand to watch the monitors (especially seeing where I know what all the signs/symptoms are if something is going wrong) and I don't want to be that "crazy nursing student mommy"......so I will be home with Della, waiting for the news that my youngest baby girl has come out of the anesthesia and is doing well.
Here are a few photos of her this afternoon when the weather hit 90! She seems so content to be hanging out in the yard and playing on the grass. At one point she ever stood up! I couldn't believe my eyes.....
I will continue to update you all through the blog as soon as I hear anything on Natalie. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and please pray for mommy and daddy as their nerves will be frayed...not only from worrying about her physically, but because we cannot give her anything to eat or drink (except water) after midnight. And even the water bottle has to get "nixed" at 4:45 a.m. We are in for a long, crazy night.

Grandma says...I will pray for her and I just hope that my precious little Baby Grandaughter does not have to suffer at all through anything. It breaks my heart to know what she will be going through, I will be a bundle of nerves until this whole thing is over and she is feeling better.Please give her a big hug and kiss from Grandma & Papa and tell her just how much we love and treasure her. Muah!
