Surgery Day

Chloe was silly, inquisitve and chatty on the day of surgery. The first thing she said to our nurse was, "Excuse me, excuse me, where are my jammies?" She was quite comfortable, although a bit hungry. We played with our hospital bands and took some pictures of the patient. When it was time to go to surgery, I carried her as far as I could and explained that she had to go with the nice doctors and nurses. "Chloe would you like someone to carry you or would you like to walk?" "I want to walk." Chloe took the surgeon's hand and walked into the OR. What a girl!!

Pre-Surgery Activities

Chloe and I took a pre-surgery tout the day before surgery. The lovely Child Life Speciaist at the hospital showed Chloe the room she would be in and all the equipment that the staff would use on her tomorrow. Chloe is giving her baby "Sleepy Air" and checking her temperature. The Lovely Child Life Specialist gave Chloe a doll that she colored with markers and put a very sad face on it. Chloe fell in love with the Lovely Child Life Specialist.

Mother's Day 2008

Grandma, Mom and Chloe had a very nice Mother's Day together. We took a walk and went to dinner with the boys. Very nice!!

Tricycle Success

We got Chloe a new tricycle and she has mastered the art of pedalling and steering. Did you know that tricycles don't have brakes?!

Keil's Big Baby

Keil bought a Taylor guitar called the Big Baby. He is so happy!

Thyroglossal Duct Cyst

Chloe has a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst in her little neck. She had an emergency Cat Scan last Friday which showed that the bump in her neck was only a cyst and nothing more serious. She is scheduled for a consult with a surgeon in 2 weeks and will undergo surgery shortly after that. It was a scary few hours in the hospital last week, but it could have been worse. Please keep Chloe Jean Ju in your prayers for a few weeks.
