Post-Op

We are home and this afternoon Lily was just chillin on the couch. She was such a brave little girl through it all. Usually Lily has quite a bit of anxiety when we are in a medical office environment--even when we take a pet to the Vet. A couple of nights ago I let Lily play with my stethescope...I would listen to her heart, lungs, and abdomen then let her listen to mine. I also have an otoscope that she's become accustomed to so now Lily no longer cries when approached by a stranger with these instruments.





Everything went smoothly--the staff at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta are GREAT, and Dr. Williams is awesome. Lily has such a pleasant personality--all children cry a bit at first when they are coming out from the anesthesia and she was no exception. Lily was easily consoled and comforted by Mommy & Daddy. She never cried or whimpered a sound the whole way home even though we stopped to get her 'scrips filled. Lily is naturally a calm and pleasant child and even in the face of adversity she showed much more patience than I've ever seen in a toddler.



Yesterday we went for a hike along the Chattahoochee River. Here's a slide show with a few favorite pics from the day. After we got home it felt perfect to take a dip in the pool. There are also pics on my flickr site ~ just click the "My Photos" link on the right hand side of the blog.
