So here's how the story begins...
Cameryn and Derek smiling and enjoying their day - right before we go to the Doctor for Derek.
Cameryn loves being a BIG SIS!
Derek is 7 weeks and was told to visit the pediatric
specialist about his "potty" problem. His last few visits to the pediatrician revealed that he has a slight allergy to cow's milk - now mommy is off the ice cream and milk - an that his bottom is a bit too small for his potty. The pediatrician wanted us to get it checked out by a specialist. Probably nothing, but just wanted to make sure, she said...
After a test by the specialist, he told us that Derek needed surgery to make his anal opening larger. Scientific term was Anal
Stenosis, and that he needed to have an Anal
Plasty. Nice words huh! The D. said it was like Derek was pooping through a pin hole. Ouch! So we scheduled his surgery which landed the day after Daddy's ankle surgery. . .OUCH!
Daddy &
Cameryn before they wheeled him to the operating room. Tyler had pain in his ankle since a basketball injury in January. He visited my friend from high school who is an ankle and foot specialist and found out that he had torn 2 ligaments. He could either wear a brace and be in pain the rest of his life, or have surgery and get it taken care of now. Being that he is still young and wants to play with our kids without having to put a brace on every time, he chose the surgery. I don't blame him.
Derek and Daddy after Daddy's surgery. Little does Derek know he will be feeling the same way in little than 24 hours. My two patients. We found out that Daddy's injury was more than expected and he had torn 3 ligaments. Dr. Mac said that if he had let this go and put more pressure on it, his ankle ligaments
would've ruptured.

Cameryn is off to stay at Mimi &
Papa's house and we prepare for the big day. Mommy and Derek need to leave at 6am for Texas Children's. So early!
