We survived another surgery with Doodlebug. Surgery number 4 to be exact.
Four surgeries in two and a half years.
*ugh* It’s pretty exhausting.
Even the quick trips seem to drain all life from me. And I know it’s rough on Doodlebug! But she’s such a champ; every time she does amazing.
Doodlebug really is something special. She’s 2 and I admire her bravery so much. When she was in the NICU during her distractors, I came across a Shakespeare quote:
“And though she but little, she is fierce.”
This phrase encapsulates her so well. Bless her heart! She has been through so much and continues to face obstacles. But by the grace of God does she faces each one with a warriors heart.
In my last update about Doodlebugs health, I mentioned that we would be having the superior portion of her adenoids taken out. (You can see that post and video here.) We are now a few weeks post surgery, so I wanted to give an update on how she’s doing and how surgery played out. I went ahead and filmed another video for it since these topics tend to get a bit long.
Oh, before you hit play, a big “thank you!” to everyone that wished up luck and offered up prayers. Doodlebug and the rest of our family appreciated it and really felt the love!
I’m so sorry she had to go through all of this! She’s such a strong little girl!
Thank you, she really is so strong.
I can’t imagine going through surgery with my baby. I’ve dealt with hospitals for high fevers, collapsed intestine, stitches, hip dysplasia, and burns. These all seem like minor things when I hear your story. One thing that amazes me is how much we can learn from our babies as they deal with their trials. My prayers are with you, your sweet baby and your family. <3
Oh my goodness…sounds like you have been through the trenches as well! I hope all is well now. Thank you so much for your prayers.
What a brave mom you are. So difficult to go through this with your little 2 year old. Good explanation in the video. Way to go.
I’m sorry she has been going through this, but I’m glad she’s doing well. Prayers and hugs!
Thank you so much, Stacey.
What a cutie! Glad to hear your doing good!
Keep strong for your little girl, I’m sure she will get better!
So sorry you’ve had to go through this. I’m sure it’s really hard as a momma to see your babies not doing well. I pray she continues to feel better every day. Blessings to you!
Thank you so much!
Aw poor little girl! Prayers and positive energy to all of you as you navigate this process.
We’ve definitely entered unchartered waters, for sure. Thank you.
Oh, that precious little gem!! She has to be so strong to be enduring so much. Prayers being added to yours and I’m glad to hear that she is doing well since her last surgery.
Yes, thank you!
Hope she is doing well now, she is a strong little girl!
Her sleep seems to be much better, thank you.
So glad the recovery is going well. Hoping for a speedy full recovery!
Thank you so much, Kristi!
Sending you love and strength, mama!
Thank you!
Congratulations on getting through another surgery. She is a warrior.
She truly is a warrior. Thank You.
Your doodlebug really is something spectacular!!! Prayers for her…
Thank you so much!
What a precious little girl! Praying for her continued health.
I appreciate that. Thank you!
So glad she’s doing well! I know how hard it is to go through these things. My daughter has special needs and has had multiple procedures. They are the toughest little warriors I’ve ever encountered! And their tenacity makes you stronger than you thought you were!
Yes! I give mad props to mommas – and dads – that go through difficulties like this. I have definitely learned things about myself that I didn’t realize existed. I hope all is well with your little one!
Your little bug is precious.
Thank you. We think she’s pretty special.
Glad everyone is doing well!
Me too! Thank you!
Aw, what a cutiepie and she’s already earned her grrrrl card! Here’s to her health!
Hahahaha! For sure!
