My Special Girl

Reagan getting ready for surgery in her scooby doo gown.

Here we are in the holding room, Reagan was pretty sleepy at this point.

Finally I got to hold my baby.

Reagan and her Doctor.

Daddy took Reagan for a wagon ride!

Almost ready to go home!

Surgery day has come and gone.  I can't believe it and I am so relieved that it is over.  We arrived at the hospital on the day of surgery at 7 am.  It was not an easy day.  It was hell day in a lot of ways.  I was emotional from the moment we pulled out of the drive way.  I actually started to talk myself out of everything in my head.  As we took our exit I literally thought, "we could just keep going and run away from it all."  But the reality was that we could not run away.  As much as I knew in my heart and in my mind that Reagan needed to have surgery to amputate her foot it was soooo hard to send her into surgery.  Reagan was an absolute doll.  Everyone fell in love with her at the hospital.  Nurses would come to our room just to see her because they heard how beautiful she is.  Everyone involved in taking care of Reagan was amazing.  I felt so much support and so much love.  I could not have done this without all of the love from my family and friends.  I thank all of you for your phone calls and hugs.  Reagan is doing great.  She doesn't even act like she just had surgery.  She is crawling everywhere like usual and is as happy as she always has been.  We follow up with the Doctor on the 17th, meet with the Prosthesis department, fit her for a prosthetic in 5 weeks, and then get her leg soon after.  Sage is taking this all pretty well.  She is still trying to understand what has happened.  She has many questions.  I figure we just take it one day at a time.  There is one thing that I have learned through all of this, "TRUST in the Lord with all thine heart."  I have had complete faith in the Lord through all of this and I know that He has carried me along the way.
