Operation Sadie

We finally met with the specialists up at Primary Children's Hospital yesterday. We were able to meet the plastic surgeon as well as the nurosurgeon. Sadie's skull is fussed in three places in the back of her head which is uncommon as well as having 3 fusions. So they will be doing the operation most likely the last week of December. The surgery is 5 hours long. Because of potential blood loss, Sadie's pediatrician will give her something each week for three weeks before to help boost her red blood cells. She will spend the night in the NICU and then will spend 3-4 days in a regular room. The Plastic Surgeon we will be using has done 3 of these surgeries in the last 10 days. He trained in Dallas under one of the most well known Drs who does these surgeries. Sadie feels totally comfortable with him as do we!!!

Other than that.. Everyone is doing great. Sadie weighed in today at 10 lbs 5 oz.... I cant believe how big she is getting!!

Almost 3 weeks old!!

Well Monday will be Saide's 3 week birthday! I can't believe it! She seems older than just three weeks!!! She had her two week check up last Monday and all checked out good. Her Dr gave me the information for the specialists up at Primary Children's Hospital, so I called right away and got her scheduled for an appointment with both of the specialist on October 29th. Ill let you know how that goes.

This week one of my best friend's, who happens to be my first and only American companion from my mission, Stephanie came up from Arizona to hang out with us. We had a lot of fun and Sadie had her first shopping expierence... though she slept through most....okay all of it!!! Regardless, I think she enjoyed it!

Kristin had her baby last week!!! YEAH!! Welcome Acacia Breanne Barlow (I hope I spelled that all right!) As you can see in the pictures they were excited to meet each other! Now we just await Ella (Nicole's Baby)...coming soon!
