For the last few months we had had problems with her left eye. The last few weeks she has looked like this. notice under her left eye... the bump... that folks is not suppose to be there. After trying several medications the doc said she needed to have an operation. My little girl in the OR I was very uncomfortable with it but after some prayer I knew two things, 1. we needed to do it and 2. it would be okay.
So yesterday we took her to the hospital. Here she is, such a small child for a big bed. Luckily Adam works in the Operating Room so the Doctor let him hold Katelee until she was asleep, once asleep Adam had to leave the room and return to me. we. waited. FOREVER. I do not know if I have ever been so uncomfortable as when my Katelee was in there and all I could do was wait, I could not even see her... AHHHH I do not even like thinking about it.
It really did not take long about 40 minutes before they brought her wheeling around the corner. I was SO GLAD to see her sweet face. She looked scared but she did not even cry. The nurse kept telling us that she really was not the norm, she was so good. Our little champ!
I waited a little while and cleaned up her face before I took this picture (you should thank me).
For those of you that knew about this difficult day, thank you for your prayers. It was a small, simple surgery it only took a few stitches but in my heart every little thing with my girls is HUGE. These experiences remind me so much that the Lord is in charge. Every moment I have with my sweet girls is a gift and although I fall short of living each moment to it's fullest I hope that I get many many years of moments before it is time to part from them.

Sweet girl! I am glad they were able to help her, but how hard for her and for Mommy! You are both so brave! We love you!!
You really are so brave! How scary--I'm so glad she did so well. I remember when Iris was in surgery, every minute felt like an hour. So hard! You are an incredible woman and Mom, and a great example to me! I love your reminder to savor everything. Love ya!
