Caitlyn's Surgery

Caitlyn has had an umbilical hernia since birth, so it was time to get it fixed. We also found out she had an epigastric hernia as well. So they fixed both at the same time. She was so excited to go to the hospital where mommy works. Here she is in her patient gown and a new Lamby for the surgery.

They have a child life specialist come in and talk with the kids about the surgery and what they will experience. In the process the kids get to draw on the bed with markers. Oh how fun. Caitlyn loved it. I made sure to tell her not to try this at home.

Then they get to decorate the mask they use in the OR with cool stickers. Here is Caitlyn showing us how she gets to breathe in the OR.

She had taken the versed by this point and it was starting to kick in. She was so hilarious and goofy. Gotta love those drugs.

Here is Caitlyn after surgery. She did so great and was such a big girl. We were so proud of her.
She goes back in 2 weeks for a checkup. Thanks for all the prayers and kind words for her.
