Our two precious angels!

Our little princess!

We had to have a little fun while we were at the hospital!! Go Mom!

Reagan after surgery. I had stuck tape on her forehead that read " Brittle Bones and Cervical Fusion"!! Just in case they forgot! They got a kick out of that.

Brennen and Reagan were watching tv together in the hospital.

Reagan before her surgery with that nasty NG tube hanging out of her nose! We are so glad we do not have to do that anymore!

Leaving Soon?

Hi! Reagan is still doing great! She has tolerated everything they have given her through her new g-tube. She has not had any pain medication since Tylenol on Thursday! What a trooper. She is truly amazing! She has such a high tolerance to pain. I keep asking her if her mouth or tummy is sore and she tells me no! Thank you God for blessing her with that ability to fight off pain!
We are loving the g-tube. We just open the button and stick her medicine down so she doesn't have to taste the yucky stuff. She has already gained a couple of pounds since we have been here. As a friend of mine says of her daughter, we may have to put her on the Jenny Craig diet before too long!!! Just Kidding! I know she needed to gain several pounds. She is still sleeping right now and I am just waiting to see the Dr. so he will discharge us! Pray that all goes well!

I tried again to download some pictures, not sure why it will not let me. I have some of the cutest pictures to show. I will try later!

PICTURES???

The pictures will not download. I will try later.

RECOVERING!!

Reagan is doing great! She did awesome. She is such a trooper! She had to have two root canals and tons of cavities filled along with the g-tube. They do not want her to eat anything until tomorrow and then wants to watch and see how she does for a few days. We may be able to come home Sunday, but more likely Monday or Tuesday! Thanks for the prayers! Enjoy the pictures.

Surgery

Reagan is having her surgery tomorrow. Please pray for the dr.'s and that Reagan will have a smooth recovery. They said they would start at 7:30 and I am not sure how long it will take. I will try to update her blog tomorrow night.

THANKFUL!!!!

I am so thankful a dr. walked into the room last night and interrupted my post. I was going to tell how we were at the hospital again and blah blah blah, but thank you Jesus, you have given me a new perspective this morning! I am so thankful that Reagan is getting the best care possible at the hospital! I am so thankful that we have insurance to pay for the hospital. I am so thankful that Allen has a job that provides great insurance. Thank you God! There are so many things to be thankful for that I cannot possibly list them all. I love my kids and feel very blessed to have them. I am glad that God sees things that we do not see and knows what is best for us even when we do not think so. He always works things out! It is not always easy and sometimes hard to swallow, but in the end, we are so blessed!

I have to admit, when Dr. Hoover told us Wednesday that we needed to be admitted to the hospital on Thursday or Friday, my human sinful flesh thought "you gotta be kidding me, another birthday and mother's day in the hospital!!". But I am thankful that I am Reagan and Brennen's mommy and that I still get to take care of them because that could have been so different a year ago April 26! God spared her life and we are so thankful for that!!! I get to do what Mommy's do best and take care of my beautiful daughter on Mother's day! She tells me all the time "your the best mommy", what more could I want! I am still working on Brennen!

I am so thankful for wonderful family and friends that has volunteered to take care of Brennen while I am gone and Allen is trying to work some and be at the hospital too! Thank you God for such a wonderful husband, father, and provider. He never complains!

So, we are at the hospital, our old room in fact, and Reagan is doing fine! Loving all of the attention that she gets from everyone that sees her! Everyone was so excited to see her and she has actually been talking a little more that usual! Dr. Hoover wanted to admit her and "fatten her up" before surgery on Thursday. He didn't feel like she would do well with recovery if she didn't have a few tests and things done before hand. At first, I couldn't believe it, but, he is the Dr. and has been seeing her for almost a year now and knows what she needs. She is having g-tube surgery and having a lot of dental work done at the same time to prevent having to put her to sleep again so close together. We are thankful that God is working that out because both are so important and really need to be done so quickly!

Reagan is telling me " Hey mommy, the room is all blue! That reminds me, blue is your favorite color!!! How precious is that.? I will update later. She is up and ready to do something! Blessings, and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever ! (not sure what verse that is)

Mommy and Reagan!
