Ladybug's Latest

Well, Ladybug finally had her cleft repaired and I am so hoping she never has to do that again!! The surgery went well but she was inconsolably crying for hours. Her crying kept the inside of her mouth inflamed so she ended up in ICU because she was having a hard time breathing. They gave her a steroid shot and took off her arm restraints and she was sleeping like an angel when I was able to go in and see her.

As you can see in the pictures she is now doing fine. As long as we keep everything out of her mouth and she does not root a hole in her pallet with her tongue, there should not be any more cleft surgeries.

The first pic I posted showes a little bit of her arm restraints. She has to wear them for 2 - 3 weeks. So....let me just tell you, Ladybug is NOT a fan of being restrained. She is so my daughter!

Anyway, thanks to everyone who was praying for her! She is doing great!
