Take Two

No, you haven't accidentally gone back a month on my blog. Alexia ended up in surgery again. It's hard to believe that this has caused us so much trouble.

Wouldn't you know it, this all happened while Conal is out of town. Thankfully, my parents were able to come into town with only two days notice. THANKS Mom and Dad!
Here is the before. A calm 4 year old with a not so calm mommy:
I think the nurse felt bad for her having to have another surgery so she gave her two stuffed animals this time which Alexia promptly named Melissa and Max:
Mommy hates this part:
And the after:
Sure wish this surgery would've done the trick. Unfortunately, Jackson accidentally pulled out the drainage tube prematurely. Next week we are off to another specialist. It's pretty scary that 4 rounds of antibiotics and 2 surgeries can't take care of a little staph infection. She broke her nose in June............we'd love to put this all behind us!

Poor girl! I hope everything gets better real soon and you can put everything behind you. Who'd have thought on tumble could be such a nightmare?

Holy Cow! You are a great mom - - I can't imagine going through that without your hubby there with you. Hope the specialist has the answer you are looking for!
