Alanna's surgery

I wanted to write about Alanna's surgery but haven't done it yet. She had a surgery on April 1st. She had some bumps under her skin that we thought might be some kind of cyst, but then some would disappear and others would appear. Anyway the doctor decided to biopsy them, so we had same day surgery for her. She was such a trooper. It hardly even fazed her at all. She got to play with toys while waiting. Then she got to drive a black hummer to the operating room. The nurse told her she was so fast that they beat the doctor. She wasn't quite as chipper when she woke up... but she and Daddy got to play the leapster for a while. We just got the results back last week and the bumps don't seem to be anything bad...but we don't know why she is getting them. Her pediatrician was talking to her and he said the old adage is that you don't want to be interesting to your doctor....and he looked at her and said "you are interesting".

What a cute, sweet thing! I am glad the surgery went good but man thing like this just drive me crazy. We need to come with an electronic contraption like they have on cars. You know, just plug it in and read across our forehead what is going on.

It's so cute to see little darlings in their hospital garb. Love it! Glad things went well. Hope the bumps disappear for good.
