Get rid of it!

That's what Mommy told the doctor this morning about this thing by my button. It was a really quick visit, and they said they could do it. We get to stay here in St. Louis today and tonight then we'll go back to the hospital tomorrow for them to take this thing off me. Here's Mommy's part of the story...

They had said when we were there this morning that they thought they could do a quick Bovie procedure (utilizing electrocautery or electrosurgery), which is quite simple, with just an inhaled sedative. But when they called back a bit ago to give me the time, 11:30 am tomorrow, she mentioned that after reviewing her history, they'll need to have an anesthesiologist there. I don't know if that means they'll need to do a more invasive type sedation, but I kind of assume that's the deal. The procedure will be the same, either way. They're doing the procedure in the APC (ambulatory procedure center), which is where they did her PEG, button, and a biopsy, so we're quite familiar with it. The APC staff will be calling later today to give me the instructions for whatever prep we'll need to do, and I'll be asking them about the anesthesia.

A good fashion statement

I’ve heard people talk about a fa-shun stayt-munt .  Mommy told me how to spell it right so you would know what I mean…fashion statement.  Have you heard about this?  I’m not sure, but I think it’s when you put on pretty clothes and then tell someone something.  And I have something to tell you!! So here’s the pretty clothes… these were our Sunday pictures from yesterday.  Daddy took them while Mommy was getting ready for church. Me and KiKi were playing and we didn’t stand still to do good Sunday pictures.  But Daddy sneaked in some good ones. And now, here’s what I’ve got to tell you….. To celebrate my new pretty blog that we worked really hard on, me and Mommy are going to be giving some fun things away to somebody who likes to read our stories!  Do you like to get stuff for just reading my stories?

Blue is cool!

I found a new fun show this week. There's lots of singing and dancing, and I like to do both those things! It's got a little dog in it named Blue. And he leaves clues for his friends to find. I like to scoot up close to the TV, so Mommy puts me on my little stool that I use for stand and sit practice. That way I stay in one place. Tonight's show was really fun and I got all excited! ( Mommy note: Remember, you can click on the pictures to make them bigger. The look on that little face is worth it! :o)
