I meant to post sooner and got busy with a bunch of things and helping her throughout the day but I know some of you are wanting to know how her surgery went….

Everything went GREAT !  She is doing fantastic and is only in a little pain.  She is able to get out of bed easily and has already been able to eat some macaroni and cheese, saltines and OJ (not all at the same time.. that sounds gross LOL)  We are supposed to be able to leave tomorrow even.  She has just been so happy.  🙂

I just had to share this pic… When we got to our room, they had a little towel monkey on the counter and we felt like we were on a cruise again (well a real cruise will come soon enough now that she is finished with all her surgeries  WHOO HOO).

We are about to head to the hospital for Kaley’s final surgery, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers today!

She is just so super excited to finally be done with her ostomy bag and start healing so she can go back to her school next year (she really hated the Hospital Homebound program because she didn’t get to see her friends).

Onto the next chapter of our life!!!

We are finally back home, what a long day! The surgeon said everything looked great and there are no leaks so we can schedule her final surgery in about two weeks!!!

To celebrate we stopped and had sushi (her choice).

I will try to get some more deals posted tonight but for now I need to just lay down and relax!

We are about to head to the hospital for another test. This time the surgeon wanted to put her under anesthesia in the OR so he can see what’s going on. If everything goes well today, we will be able to set up her final surgery appointment which would be really nice so we can get through the summer recovering from it.

If you could say a prayer or send some positive vibes our way we would appreciate it!

I seriously can’t believe my little girl turned 16 today.  Time sure flies by so fast and before I know it she will be moving out and starting a life of her own (ok I just teared up thinking about that).  We had an amazing day today and she still has a bunch of friends that are spending the night so my day is not even over yet.  It was just so great seeing her laughing with all her friends all day because lately she has been in a funk being stuck at home all the time.

As most of you know, this past year has been a complete whirlwind and I am really looking forward to a less chaotic year ahead (at least I hope so).  She goes for another test on Monday to see if she can have her final surgery and if the test comes back that everything is ok, we will be heading back to the hospital for hopefully her last surgery.  She has been through so much and I just really hope the worst is behind us !!!

FYI: The CVS and Walgreens matchups will have to get done tomorrow because I am completely wiped out and we haven’t even made dinner yet (she wanted to do a “Make Your Own Sushi Night”).
