A Failed Second Attempt

Poor, poor Kate. Today Kate had surgery on her eye again, this time in Salt Lake. We took her in in hopes that they could insert a tube that the last doctor wasn't able to. No luck. The poor girl has a lack of duct work on the right side. It's just too bad they had to torture her like that . . . for nothing! And let me tell you, she was NOT a happy Kate coming out of recovery from surgery. This time she was much more swollen than last time, her poor eye was completely swollen shut. It was huge and puffy. She'll probably be black and blue in a couple of days. The doctor was very disappointed that the surgery didn't quite go as planned and wants to see her when she is 3 to try a different procedure. We left Lucy at Benson's during the surgery and when we went back to pick her up she saw Kate and said, "Daddy, I think we need to take Kate to the doctor, look at her eye!" So cute. She's always so concerned about Kate's eye. I won't put the sad, pathetic pictures of the little girl on here. It'll make you want to cry. But the swelling has already improved a lot, she can somewhat open her eye . . . and she has a smile on her face. :)

Trip of a Lifetime!!

I just got home from a trip to Europe with my Mom and Janelle. It was an AMAZING experience. We were able to do and see so much. I flew into Munich, Germany and met my Mom and Janelle, who had already been there for a week. We were able to see some of Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy! It was a blast. We had some fun adventures and interesting experiences. I don't have the pictures yet, but will put them up here when I get them . . . all 3,000. Just kidding . . . maybe. My Dad and Nick were gracious enough to watch the girls while I was gone. They all seemed to have survived. It was a great trip and I'll post more soon!
