My Little Trooper

Kaylin had to have a little surgery this week at Primary Children's Hospital.  She had a cyst in her mouth removed and a scope in her throat to see what is causing her stridor (wheezy breathing).  It turns out that her hemangioma on her lip extends down her throat and restricts part of her airway.  Since she's breathing fine for the most part, we'll just monitor her to make sure it doesn't get worse and hopefully it'll go away on it's own eventually. 
Here she is before surgery...not to sure about everything...

 Looks like surgery can't get this girl down.  She's recovering well and is as happy as ever!
 Brea's always watching out for her little sis and helping her with whatever she needs.  She even picked out some flowers to give her.  So sweet!
We love our little Linny and are so glad that she's doing well!

What happened to you!? You're an EXPLODING blogger now! I have sooooo much to comment on. I'm so glad to see Linny is recovering. I hate the thought of her being uncomfortable one second.

AND, my little dancer. What I would have given to be at that recital. When I think about it, I seriously get giddy. B in a leotard = pure joy.

Let's keep in touch. I think I'll see you soon?

I'm glad she did well. Kellsie had to get some tests at Primary Children's in Dec. and I was more upset than her. It's hard to see your little ones like that. Good luck I hope everything continues to go well with Kaylin. She's a cutie!

That would be so hard! Glad she is doing well. We miss seeing you guys at church. Brea is so big now! Your birthdays sounded amazing. Glad you guys had big celebrations. That is just the way it should be.

Oh, so sad to see little Kaylin at the hospital! I'm so glad that she's doing well! I also can't believe how big she's gotten! It's been way to long since we've seen you!

Thanks for this post! It was great to see how happy she was afterward--she's such a trooper!
I think Brea should wear that tutu around town just for fun (or at least so I can enjoy seeing it on her--beautiful girls!)
love you!
