Surgery

Because Aero was in the NICU, we hit our family deductible with our insurance. And with that being the case, Andrew had surgery on his foot a few weeks ago. He had broken his foot when I was 8 months pregnant with Donovan (that was fun!), and has had screws in there ever since then. Taking the screws out is considered a full surgery, and we didn't have the extra $$$ to take care of it. But since we hit our deductible this year, we decided that we might as well get that surgery taken care of. He has healed well and is glad to be on the other side of this, finally.

Next on our list is Marcail. She has had a cyst of some sort in her throat since she was born. You can see it when she tilts her head up - exactly in the middle of where her collar bones meet. We had it looked at last year by a throat specialist, who said that it probably is not dangerous now, but its always uncertain what it could turn into down the road. So... you can probably guess the rest - she is getting throat surgery on Monday. I know its a minor surgery, but I still feel like I'm going to tear up badly then, seeing her getting ready to be operated on. But I think its still the best thing to do at this point- also because her scar should not be very visible when she's an adult if she gets this done now. I'm a girl, so I understand wanting to look pretty : )

That should be the end of our short but full surgery list. It feels very rushed, especially in light of other changes taking place here. I'll address that later. No, I am not pregnant : ) -I only say that because some people have asked that when I told them I had some news- but please pray for our family!
