This Girl is TOUGH!

This past week, Kaitlyn went in for outpatient surgery on an umbilical hernia she's had since birth. We were both a little nervous going in, but she put on a brave face and I was sillier than I've been in months. We had a great morning together bouncing as high as we could on her bed, pouring twice the recommended amount of bubbles in the tub, dancing around the house, and reading Curious George Goes to the Hospital at least three times. I was so proud of her!

Then, a day later, I dragged her off her comfy couch and brought her back to the doctor to check out her arm. She fell on it when we were in Ohio, and we were monitoring it, but she never complained about it. Five days later it was still swollen, though, and she finally admitted it was a little sore even with all her pain meds from surgery. Turns out that she had two broken bones in her arm. So, a day after surgery she was outfitted with a bright pink, full-arm cast which she will wear for six weeks.

What a way to start the school year, right?!
