Last Friday we took Taylor to Primary Children's Hospital to get her belly button fixed. We had to be there by 8 am while the surgery didn't start until 9:30. Taylor was so brave....she didn't need to take a sedative to go with the doctors....she just rode her wagon into the OR without her parents. About 30minutes later the Dr. told us it was all done and we could go back to be with her in 20 minutes. I was surprised how awake she was when I got to see her. She was so funny because we told her she had to finish the juice the nurse gave so we could go home... and she said she wanted to stay! I guess she liked having a TV screen hovering over her bed and cool band-aids and wrist bands! Well we eventually convinced her to go home at about 11:15.
All in all it was a relatively easy process and Taylor is recovering really well. She complains about her belly button hurting occasionally but she is back to her normal activity level. I'm glad everything has gone perfectly to this point and hope that continues until the insurance company pays! ( For the past 6 months I've been straightening out multiple insurance claims that were messed up.....not fun!)

So glad that she did so well! I can't believe she came home so fast. I know what you mean abot medical bills and insurance co. It is almost a full time job. Please let us know if you need anything! Jen
Glad to hear Taylor did great and that everything is healing as it should! Sometimes, I think parents have a harder time than the kids....I know that's the case with us! It's more nerve wracking for us but just an adventure for them!
Call if you need anything!
P.S. how did you like the Payson pool?
Horray!!
I am so glad to hear everything is well with her! You know Muloki had a herniated belly button that we had to have fixed too. She didn't get juice and a tv, Taylor had it much better!
Good job Taylor, and good job to mom and dad!
