McKay's surgery canceled

January 18, 2008
I'm a little frustrated because my computer won't read my camera. We can't figure it out, but hopefully we'll get that fixed soon. This has been an interesting week though. On Wednesday McKay was going to have a little surgery. In December of 2006 McKay had surgery on his hips. They were both out of the socket real bad and the doctor said that it's quite painful if we don't fix it. So he went in for surgery... the doctor put them back in place and he was in a spika cast, from waist down to his toes. Not very convenient and very messy. The day that we went in to get the cast off they did another X-ray to see how they healed up. they saw that the left one was still not in properly. So they did a second surgery on it in January of 2007. As I look back this was the worse time ever. I was pregnant with Tyler and so sick. I was also not able to pick McKay up. He weighed about 55 pounds alone, but with the cast on he weighed a ton! So with friends, family, the Relief Society's help I got through it. I again want to thank all who helped us through all that. You truly saved me!
This Surgery that was to be on Wed. was to remove the pins from his hips. I can't believe it's been over a year, but the doctor's say that it's not harming him to have them in still. So the reason I canceled was because he woke up on Monday sick. Tuesday same thing. the funny thing is the second I canceled it McKay wasn't sick anymore! I couldn't figure it out. I asked my mom if I should call and say never mind we can do it, he's fine. She calmed me down and said you never know... maybe there's a reason. just reschedule and hope he's really healthy then. Wednesday morning he was doing so good We sent him on the bus to school. the same with Thursday! The little stinker.... I think he knew he had gotten out of surgery! I think He knows more than we give him credit for! Next time we're keeping it secret from him! Now it's Thursday.... and McKay is home sick. Early this morning he was running a little fever and struggling. When he coos you can tell that his little voice is raspy. He's sleeping comfortably at the moment. So it's nothing major... It's just not fun having sick kids. No mother enjoys sick kids! but on the positive note- I do like the little break that it offers. when whatever is on the calender just doesn't matter as much. You can justify the fact that it's 12:00 and the kids and I are still in our pj'S! I may have to go shower here in a minute because I still might take Tyler to his 4 month app. that should have been 3 weeks ago! We'll see how the day goes!
