New stuff...

Here are a few new pics from the last week or so. We are staying busy and getting ready for a trip out to Northern California this weekend. Audrey is doing very well. She has almost completely recovered form her surgery. Her eyes look great and are only slightly pink if she becomes upset or tired. After a few more days we will be able to go back to our normal routine at bath time too. As you can see, we got some more snow. This pic was taken this morning after only one evening of snow!

Our backyard...that tree to the right should be standing tall.

Audrey's new table...I am hoping to get her into art so I thought this would be great for us.

My love bug. Look at those straight eyes!

Well today was the day...Audrey finally had her eye muscle surgery this morning. Our doctor says the operation went very well, although we won't know exactly how well her eyes adjusted until our follow-up appointment next week. We got to the surgery center at 6 am and Audrey just played and chatted with the other patients in the waiting room until we were called to go back and get settled in. Considering she hadn't had anything to eat or drink for 12 hours and was exhausted, she did awesome! I went with her to the operating room and waited until she fell asleep, since they had to put her under general anesthesia. When she woke up she was very upset and disoriented. To be honest, Nathan and I were very scared when we saw her...she was so out of it and she was crying bloody tears...that was very hard to watch. BUT she woke up and started feeling better and rested as soon as we got home. Only a few short hours after the surgery was over, Audrey was eating, watching Sesame Street, and looking for trouble just like normal. :) She is amazing! Here are a few pics from our big day.
