Addy Surgery :(



Well, we had the scare of our lives this past weekend.  Addy fell off the kitchen counter on Thursday night and got a concussion (or the med check thought). By Friday night we were in the ER, rushed to Riley Children's Hospital by ambulance, and she was taken for emergency surgery to remove an epidural hemotoma from her brain.  Talk about scary.  Our 5 year old needed neurosurgery!!!  Ugh.  But Addy  was released from the hospital today (Monday) and is doing remarkably well. She is under strict orders to not re-injure herself, so no rough play for a month or so....something that I'm sure will prove to be challenging!   The first picture is from Sat morning...she was pretty uncomfortable and out of it all day Saturday.  The other two pics are from Sunday. Her headband and catheter were removed, she got a shower, and started perking up. Plus, she had visitors and that made her smile :)  She's even better today. We were so incredibly blessed to have found the hemotoma and to have had the best doctors, best family, and best friends to help us through!
