Sara's surgery

Sara had her tonsils and adenoids out on Thursday and I have to say she is doing pretty good. She was so brave. She even helped push her cart into the OR. They do such a good job at PCH preparing the kids. They even let her see the mask she was going to get put to sleep with in pre op where she was playing. She put it on and played with it. It was bubblegum flavor. She came out of the anesthesia really well. It has been hard watching her in pain and listening to her nasally voice. She is so sad when her medicine is wearing off. Last night was a little scary because she had 103 fever and started throwing up. I ended up sleeping with her all night. She is a different kid today now that we convinced her to take her medicine and eat something. She is back to running around pretending to be a dog. Gotta love kids. They bounce back so easy. I thought we were on our way to the ER for fever and dehydration. I just kept telling her to trust mommy and I would make her feel better. She snuggled me and said "ok mommy I trust you, please make me better."

Sara's Portraits

Madelyn loses her first tooth

Madelyn went with Sara and I to Sara's three year well check. She was showing Dr. Nemivant how she has two teeth that are loose on the bottom with two teeth already growing in behind them. She looks like a shark. We have been wiggling that tooth for a month and nothing. All he has to say is "Can I try to pull it?" and she lets him. She would have never let us do that. She must really trust him. Anyway, a few drops of blood later she has her first tooth out and the tooth fairy has begun :)

Sara's third bday

Sara's "other" birthday

Sara's "other" birthday as she calls it was her actual birthday on Wednesday. Madelyn gave her a giant Dora body pillow. She loved it. As you can see she can never get enough of us singing happy birthday to her. We set up the camera for a timed photo so we could all be in the picture.

Sara's third birthday

Sara's third birthday was September 17th. She had a blast at her Dora party. Sara couldn't wait for everyone to arrive so she could show them her cake. She was thrilled that all of her family and friends came to help her celebrate. I have never seen such a little person enjoy their party so much! I know they say that they will probably not remember birthdays this young, but it is still worth seeing her have so much fun. Thanks to everyone who came and helped make such great memories for her!
