Addie's Surgery

Addie was born with a umbilical hernia we were hoping that it would close on its own but it never did. I was a little concerned because my girls whine a lot, their pain threshold is not very high or even close. I was surprised with Addie. Addie was truly amazing. She was very brave! I talked to her about what was going to happen and she took it all in a stride. The surgeon and anestheologist said that she was so sweet and so good!
I was able to go into the OR with her to help put her under. Addie stayed calm the whole time.


Post-Op


They told me that she would likely wake up crying or angry. However, she didn't. She just sat in my lap while I rocked her. I love that I am her mom and was able to be there for her. To my surprise she didn't complain very much about the pain, what a trooper! I want to tell my sister, Kristy thank you for coming with me and my mom, thank you for watching Gabrielle and picking up Joelle from school (she got sick).
