"all screwed up"

So May 27th has come and gone but I am finally blogging about
Naomis surgery on her growth plate.
I was nervous on how it would go and how would she would do. But she did really good.
We woke up at 6:00 a.m. and left for Primary Childrens and got there about 6:45 a.m.
They take you back and register and give the parents name tags (so that the doctor can remember who you are)
Then the nurse comes and weights you and has you put there gowns on.
Naomi did really good up until that part. Once we started walking back to the waiting room before the surgery she turned around and cried and said "I don't want to do it"
And if you know me of course I held it together and not one tear fell.
Her doctor came back and talked about what was happening and they put her in the wagon and away she went. They gave her bubble gum air to smell and she does not remember anything else. The surgery took over 1 hour and I went back to see her.So this is what she has been doing for the last few days.
If you have a weak stomach don't look any further.

We took some pictures of what her leg looks like. They put screws
on both side of the growth plate hopping that her leg will stop growing.

I hope that this all works out that I (and Naomi) doesn't have
to do this ever again. I think this is harder on me than her.

I think surgery on your kids is always harder on mom! I hope she's feeling and doing better.

Love your header by the way. One of my favorite families!

they are so good with the kids at primary's but sometimes the mom's need some flavored air to smell too dont you think? =)
i hope that doing this helps naomi and that she doesnt have to go thru anymore surgeries (or mommy either). she looks like she is doing pretty good in the pics, but if you need me to come over at bedtime when your hubby isnt home, CALL ME~!~!~!
