This week has been very busy for the Harris crew! Sunday, Logan and I went to church and Will stayed home with Addelyn because she was napping. After church, Logan suddenly decided that he didn't feel well and needed to go to bed. When he woke up, I wasn't home but Will said he seemed to be fine. However, Monday he got sick again. He vomited three times (once all over the floor, once on our bed and once again on the bed)! So Will and I decided that he would stay home with Logan and I would take Addie to the hospital. Will did not like this decision so I made sure to call and keep him informed as much and often as possible. I felt sad for him. So...I got up at 4:45 to get ready to take Addelyn to Children's Hospital for her hernia repair. We got there at 6:30 only to wait for a couple of hours before they took us to our holding room. There, we waited for a while longer. The surgery was scheduled to take place at 9am. However, they didn't take her back to the OR until 10:00. Now, I know this is going to make me look like a bad mom but this is the truth...instead of freaking out and worrying, I took a nap while Addelyn was in surgery! I knew she was in good hands...God's hands! So I was at peace! Dr. Harmon came into the room at 10:45 to inform me that everything went well, the hernia was about the size of your thumb (which was "rather large"), there was no hernia on the right and that I should see my princess very soon! So....I took another quick nap after calling Will to let him know Addelyn was fine!! Soon the nurse brought her to me! She was lethargic but pleasant, as usual! As she lie in my arms, I began to remember the day she was born. And how she would lie so still while I cradled her. Once again, I was sure to call Daddy and let him know his baby girl was safe in my arms. I know he was relieved.
She immediately sucked down about 6 oz of Pedialyte. Soon thereafter, we were on our way home! She was so tired and lethargic. I looked back at her once and she was holding a hanging toy with one hand while her head hung, eyes closed!! It was so cute.
I had my camera in my purse that morning...just in case I had a chance to capture a moment. I also had a bottle of juice in my purse for Addelyn. Apparently, camera's don't function to full capacity after bathing in apple juice. So my camera is out of service. I doubt Will is going to be getting me a new one anytime soon. So I don't know if or when I will have new pictures for you all.
I hope you all have a great week! Keep Logan and Addelyn in your prayers. Logan is still fighting off a cold and Addelyn is recovering from surgery. Will is going to be running the Mercedes Half-Marathon on Sunday morning so cheer him on if you think about it!
