We arrived at Levine's Children's Hospital at 8:30 a.m. and were home by 2:30 p.m. Now THAT'S the kind of surgery I like!
The girls posed outside the gift shop on the way into the hospital.
Then we went upstairs to pre-op.
Lily Rose is always a ham for the nurses. Yesterday was no exception.
Once we put the gown on Lily Rose, it finally hit her....another surgery.
The expression on her face says it all.
After a minute, she put on her game face and was all smiles as they wheeled her back to the OR.
Lily Rose came to us with a perforated ear drum. The hole was quite large and was presumably from multiple untreated ear infections. The surgery, fat plug myringoplasty, is a grafting procedure using fatty tissue from behind Lily Rose's ear to plug the ear drum. The hope is that the tissue will graft in around the fat plug and will ensure a return of full hearing once healing takes place.
The hole in Lily Rose's eardrum was quite large, so this grafting procedure may or may not be successful.
Please pray with us that the procedure is fully successful and no further surgery will be needed. Every surgery is significant with a "cardiac" patient.

Such a sweet girl! Praying for Lily's healing.
She is just the cutest little girl ever! It is great to see her so trusting and happy. Praying her healing goes well.
It was so.... nice meeting you and your daughters the other day when Lily Rose was in pre-op. You have a wonderful and awesome family.
I wanted you to know that you have touched and enriched my life by bringing Isabelle to the hospital last July. This is when the adoption journey began for my family.
I aspire to be a wonderful mom like you when my daughter Anna Grayson finally comes home.
Three weeks and counting for the Article 5. Ughhhh
