Surgery and Heat Wave
This heat is killing me! It was 106 today and it is not going to level off until Thursday. Oh well. I suppose it is a good week for laying low and staying indoors. Haylee's surgery went very well. She is still in a lot of pain and on a liquid diet - yuck! But tomorrow we can start the soft foods that will be her lot for the next 4 WEEKS. The no-nos, 0r arm retraints, are not fun but they are doing the job - keeping her fingers out of her mouth. I am beginning to think that the easy part was the surgery and hospital stay. The hard part is going to be protecting her from herself and the kids. Although she isn't feeling 100% she is already wanting to climb on things and dance around. It is giving me a heart attack. Luckily Kevin was home today but I just don't know how I'm going to keep a vigilant eye on her and deal with the other kids on my own. Haylee is such a little trooper and I'm so incredibly proud of her. She has been through so much in her young life but she still keeps going with a sense of humor and the sweetest smile. We are sooooo very lucky to have her. I'll post a few pics later.

Jenny - she is just beautiful! Good luck in the weeks to come - nothing harder than trying to contain a little one like that after surgery. You have such a beautiful family!
