Best Day Ever!

I really hope my mommy gets me something good after this...... (note: she got cookies and chocolate milk right after)

Oh the drama. (no pain involved - really!)

Screaming in true pterodactyl form....

Before - look at her face - kind of suspicious....

This is actually a before picture (obviously) - but I can't switch the order for some reason.

Lola got her g-tube removed today! We are so excited about it. Steve took her into the hospital, and I met him there when I was done at school (I got a friend to cover my class, thankfully!) and I met them there at 2:15. They were already in the room, which Lola had taken the time to tear apart. We had quite a long wait, but that's okay! The Dr. came in and okayed the procedure and left (took all of 30 seconds with him) and then the nurse removed it. No problem! Lola cried, but only because we were holding her down. So here's a before pic of her with her g-tube, and an after pic of her without it! The circle is just duoderm to protect her skin from the tape which will protect it for a couple of days. The white stuff is stoma powder, which will help the hole to close up - it's like an adhesive. We prayed for this day to come, and here it is! She got a little Strawberry Shortcake doll to celebrate - she was a brave girl today. She walked all over the hospital (no stroller - she's too cool for strollers) and visited her friends on Unit 3. It's pretty funny to see the reactions on people when they see Lola for the first time in months.
