On the Mend

I know it's been a while but I wanted to make an update after Ava's procedures on April 11th.  She had her trach site revised to make sure it was completely closed and that it healed in a way that would make a cleaner looking scar as opposed to still looking like a hole.  They cut the skin to allow fresh skin to heal with fresh skin, and everything went as planned.  Her g-tube site was also completely closed and scar tissue was removed.  All went there too.  The ENT surgeon wanted to observe her overnight so a sleepover at Children's Mercy is just what we did.  So, now she's on the mend and we will go back for post-op appointments next week.

We got to make a trip to Omaha to spend time with our friends the Proctors and Seastedts!  We had a great time hanging out, eating, and watching Luci play soccer.  She's quite the little player!

It got a little cold while Luci was playing soccer...So Ava, Evie, and Reese watched a DVD!

Luci and Ava...poor lighting in the restaurant!

Luci and Evie also have this really fun personal trampoline!

 

 



We went to the March for Babies event yesterday and it was a gorgeous day.  In addition to great weather, we got to see lots of familiar faces from OPR NICU.  We can't say enough about the fabulous nurses and staff who work in the OPR NICU!  Overall, it was a great event for a very meaningful cause.
