Lilah's Tube Surgery Complete...

Darren and I definitely felt all of the prayers that were being said for our sweet baby girl Lilah. Thank you! With the help of the Higginbotham family and Kaitlyn we had Ty and Jaxon covered. Guys, we cannot thank you enough for the constant help you provide to us with our kiddies. WE are so blessed to have you as our family in Christ. You make it possible for these kinds of things to run smoothly.

We arrived at the hospital at 7:00 am sharp. Lilah's surgery began about 7:50 am. We had to hand her off to the nurse and were not allowed to go watch her be put under the anesthesia. It was sad! She was as happy as can be up until that point. Lilah was returned to us about 8:15 am. She was NOT happy. Very fussy and irate. I think her fussiness was due to her "coming out" of the anesthesia and being starved (since she wasn't able to eat after midnight). We had a bottle waiting for her, but after drinking all of it, she was still angry. Nothing calmed her.

Now, she's as content as can be. You'd never know she even had surgery this morning.

We praise God for giving Dr. Tran the wisdom he needed and a steady hand which allowed the surgery to be a success. The power of prayer is amazing.

We would ask for continued prayer that this surgery helps to eliminate future ear infections which were keeping Lilah unhappy and keeping mommy (especially) and daddy from being able to stay focused on daily responsibility both physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Once we returned home, Lilah got a visit from her BOYFRIEND Shawn. She was all smiles after getting loads of kissies and one-on-one attention from Shawn (sorry. Kaitlyn). It made her day!
