Teagan's laser surgery was a success! She is home and recovering well.
Nick stayed home with Ethan & Cal while Teagan, Grandpa Rooney and I left for Gillette Children's at 5:30am this morning. Teagan slept until we reached the lobby and amazed us with her playfulness and affection at such an early hour without any food/bottle in her belly. She was happy to chat with the nurses and accept their gifts of blankets and toys. After being prepped for surgery (weight, blood pressure, tiny gown) the nurses and doctors explained the quick procedure and she was whisked away promptly at 7:30am. I picked up a gossip magazine and actually enjoyed a few moments of silence while my dad went for a coffee run. Suddenly at 7:40am, before my dad even got back with the mochas, the doctor came in the room and said, "All done!"
Done!? After only 10minutes? Wow, a ton of worrying went into that lightening fast surgery. The doctor said everything went as planned and she was already waking up. Incredibly, we were back home before 9am.
The left side of her face is slightly swollen and looks bruised, but that's normal and it will last for a couple of weeks. We're excited to see the results in a couple weeks when the bruising disappears.
Teagan will have the same surgery preformed again in 6-8 weeks. Now that I'm familiar with the process I don't think I'll worry so much next time....but we'll see.
AND more great news!
At Calin's PT and helmet adjustment appointment this week we blew the doctor away with Cal's great progress. His head is almost perfectly round already!
Calin still needs to use the helmet until the Torticollis is fixed, but we get to cut back on helmet time! Now he wears it only at night and during naps, to avoid laying on the left side and making it flat again.
Fabulous week for the Waltons5!
