6 hours after surgery

up running around and eating:)

Gracie's home from Eye Surgery

We just got home from the Detroit Children's Hospital. Gracie did great....well, I should say that thanks to the morphine, Gracie did great:) She is the only kid I know who doesn't like stickers on her or bandaids so you can imagine how terrified she was at the hospital. She wouldn't even let them put the admitting wrist band on her! So I held her the whole time we did intake and she kept her face buried in my chest:) She screamed bloody murder when the put the pulse reader on her toe. We all know that doesn't hurt! I was allowed to carry her onto the operating room and hold her while they put her to sleep with gas. And again she screamed through that even though it was bubble gum flavor. Poor girl. Her surgery went great and she's been very tired an calm since then and napped the whole way home and is in her bed napping more now. Her eyes are bloody red with pink tears. She hasn't complained yet and the doctor thinks she'll be doing really good by tonight. They operated on both eyes to tighten the muscles so that her left eye no longer wonders. Boy they are so nice at the Children's Hospital and so great with kids. We are lucky it was only eye surgery. Most children there are not so fortunate.

Walking out back

As you can tell, Wyatt was just exhausted after our stroll!

Fatty

Wyatt is growing well! He had a little check up at 3 weeks and has already gained over 2 pounds. He's giving Georgia a run for her money. She was 18 pounds at 4 months old so we'll see if Wyatt will be as chunky. He's now sleeping 5 hours stretches at night and mostly sleeps all day too. Here is a photo of his favorite eating position. Oh, we also shaved his head just like we did with the girls. I'm sure you all guessed that from the photos though!
