Im sorry...

I waited so long to post, but life has been very busy. First off, Allie's surgery went very well. She came out looking like she had a little boo-boo on her nose whereas she went in with a big ol' wart like thing on her nose. But now it's gone! Still no word on what exactly it was but I expect to start hearing sometime this week. The surgery was not completly pleasant though. I mean, she went in happy and was suprisingly okay with the nurses. I was shocked! Then when they told me I couldn't be with her when they put her to sleep I lost it. I cannot begin to express to you how hard I tried not to cry but as soon as I opened my mouth to ask a question I let out a big fat cry. I was dreading the moment they would take her out of my arms and take her away as she screamed. Luckily thats not at all what transpired. I gave her to Jason just because I didnt think that I could handle it. So the time came and they indeed took her out of Jason's arms but she went with out so much as a whine. The nurses were very sweet. I cried and cried... and cried. They said it would only be about 20 minutes til they called us back again and lo and behold...they did. (well, it was more like 25 minutes, but who's watching the clock?) Just a few minutes before they called us I heard a scream and we both looked at eachother because we knew it was our Allie. Then they called us back and she was a mess! A crying mess! She was physically fine, it was the anesthesia and coming out of it. There was nothing we could do to calm her. She kept wanting Daddy when she was in my arms and me when she was in Daddys arms. We passed back and forth over and over, but neither of us could calm her. It was like she wanted so badly to feel better but couldnt no matter whose arms she was in. Of course, I cried and cried too. I hate to see her like that. Once we got her out of that place she was fine. I got her home and fed her tylenol and juice (no milk for 4 hours post surgery) she zonked out for 2 hours and woke up perfect. Since then her nose has looked normal except for a small scab that can barely be seen! Thank you all so much for your prayers. Come back tomorrow and I'll have another blog for you about how Allie spends her summer days. (so fun!) Right now, my scrapbooking desk is calling my name. I've been dying to scrap since yesterday but never get the chance. Someone always needs me the second I sit down...ha! Wait until there's 2 under 2 in my house....
