Group Hugs:
In the classroom:
After School!
These two were seated next to each other in class. They were separated by noon.
And Going Home:
We met with Teagan's surgeon yesterday. He explained what he will do exactly and we talked some details. Good news- she is allowed to keep using her bottle after surgery! She's up to 3 a day now and I don't think it would go over well to give them up now. This is a big relief. He thinks he will be done in about 2.5 hours including the ear tubes and exam. I'll be allowed to put on scrubs and be with her until she is asleep and then they will take her to the operating room. There is about an 85% success rate with this surgery for her kind of CP. Otherwise, you have to redo it or go on to other procedures. Since we are going to be in the 85%, I won't concern myself with what that would entail. My Dad is coming up for a few days to help us out, making sure Catherine can get to school and other things. Teagan will wear arm restraints at night, but he said we could keep them off in the day as long as we can keep our eyes on her all the time. All in all, he presented a much more balanced view than I had heard before.
I'll post an update after the surgery. Wish Teagan luck.
Saying a prayer for Miss Teagan and her mommy right now!!!

ReplyDeletespet. 9th will be marked for us as a day to pray for you (Lord knows how hard this is for the moms) and for little T--
I will be praying for Teagan and for all of you. We will be walking in your footsteps here soon with Lily's repair, hopefully in October. I will be following closely along to Teagan's progress. I hope that it goes smoother than you anticipate.
ReplyDeleteCatherine is too cute. I miss her unique personality.
Will be praying for Teagan and you! This is the same day Grace goes for her first consult with the specialist at Wake Forest. Emotional day for the two of us. Both girls, both mommies..same day...suprise, not really. Thinking and praying. Lots of love!
