After the Surgery

Well, it was a long and trying day, but Cam came through it like a champ! We left the house at about 4:15am and they took her back at 8:30am. I was able to go back to see her at about 10:30am so the surgery was very fast. The doctor feels really good about his work so we are hoping that we won't have to do it again! We will know for sure at a 6 week check-up.

Cam did really well. She wasn't too fussy (considering the circumstances). By the time we got home, she wanted a bottle and then wanted in her walker to chase the dogs! She is pretty much back to normal. Her eyes are fairly straight, though the doctor said that we will have to wait until the sutures heal to know how straight they will stay. It's amazing. I teared up when I saw her open her eyes in the recovery room. I also passed out, but that's another story... I guess I am not good with seeing blood :)

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We will keep you posted with more (better) pics and progress!

All our love,

More Teeth, More Mobility, More Attitude!

Well, this has been a very busy spring for us! Cam has her 2 top teeth in. They are gigantic! She's going to have a gap between them like her mommy. She thinks that she can use all 4 of them as weapons now when she doesn't get her way. She DEFINITELY has her daddy's temper :)

We took some pics in the bluebonnets. Cam did amazing. It was nothing like the Christmas picture struggle we had. We set her down in the field and I started snapping and within 5 minutes, we had some great photos! I was so proud of her. She loves it outside so it was pretty easy to get her to smile.

As far as mobility goes, Cam is unstoppable in her walker. She will hear me in the other room and follow my voice to find me. As of this evening, she also officially crawls. She saw Pinky's rawhide on the living room carpet and decided to go for it. She was quick, too, for it being her first time! She can stand up in her crib / playpen. We had to lower the mattresses as low as they would go.

Her eye surgery is set for April 17th. Please keep her in your thoughts.

All our love,
