Monday morning we arrived at Texas Children's Hospital to have Juliet's tonsils removed at 9:00 am. We got checked in got situated to wait for our 11:15 time. At 10:30 they started the surgery, yea for early. At 10:50 we got a huge shock. Dr. Duncan came in to tell us that they had to abort the surgery due to Juliet having a seizure on the operating table. It was a very mild seizure that lasted between 10-15 seconds. It apparently happened shortly after they started the anesthesia. It is unknown what caused the seizure since she has been put under before. He wanted to admit her to the hospital overnight for observation. Well I guess if you are going to have to be in a hospital, why not be in one of the best right? We finally got into a room around 4:30 pm and daddy came home to relieve Meme of Nate. Thank you Meme and Poppa for keeping Nate so we could focus on Juliet. Dr. Ori arrived around 6:30 and helped get her CT Scan expedited. At 9:30 we went down and had that done, we were done in about 5 minutes. My brave little girl did awesome! She finally went to sleep around 11 and of course they came in at midnight to do blood pressure and temp. I am unsure how anyone recovers in a hospital as many times as they disturb you. Dr. Duncan came in early this morning and told us blood work and CT Scan were good and we could go home. We were home by 9 am. What a whirlwind 24 hours. She was very tired today but otherwise seems like her normal self.
I had some rough moments yesterday. I spent alot of time in prayer, asking God what was going on and why did this happen. I felt like the answer came to me last night in the form of, "I let this happen during this elective surgery so you know there is a problem and not during a life or death situation." It has helped me know he did not leave us, he was there the entire time watching over her.

Nate quickie
Nate will stand on his own as long as his hands are occupied and he is not thinking about what he is doing. As soon as he wants something and reaches for it he falls. If he could just get out of that having to grab for everything he would figure out the walking part. (sniff) We put together his walker and he will walk behind it and behind Juliet's shopping cart. He sits and turns completely around to find the person he wants to look at. He has become a very demanding little boy, he has convinced his teachers not to tell him no and now wants to fall asleep in my arms instead of his bed. Likes to eat and loves to give hugs and sloppy kisses. Oh yes and is a Cheerio's thief at school, I came in one day and he was standing by another kids tray eating the cereal off the tray with the kid.

The moon tonight
Have you seen the moon tonight? It's really close to Earth and really bright. If Juliet had been asleep 10 minutes. I would be shocked, so I woke her up and took her outside to see the moon. She loves the moon and ever since she learned in Puggles that God made the moon she always wants to go out and see it, and when you ask who made the moon she will tell you God did. Tonight she asked me if we could take an airplane and go see the moon. Daddy answered, not yet. One day in her lifetime you will be able to go to the International Space Station, so it's not unreal that the moon would be next.
