Surgery Postponed - Again

As many of you already know, Brenna's surgery did not take place on Tuesday. Due to a cough and runny nose, the doctors wanted to play it safe and postpone the procedure. There are risks with anesthesia in children with colds and the runny nose could complicate the healing process of the lip itself. So, after a period of time at the hospital - we got the frustrating news that we had to wait about 3 weeks. We are still waiting to get a date for the surgery and will let everyone know once we know! Meanwhile, we are all pitching in to keep Brenna out of day care and healthy. It is difficult to figure out everyone's schedules, but we are fortunate to have family that are willing and able to help out. On another note, Brenna is growing like crazy and doing new and exciting things. After giving up on the cereal - figuring we'd have to reestablish the process after surgery anyway - we tried again after the postponement. She is doing very well now! We mixed the cereal with water instead of yucky soy formula and she eats it right up! She is also perfecting her "army crawl" which is not quite a crawl, but she definitely gets around quickly and can get to something if she wants it bad enough. Thank you all for your support as we wait for more surgery news. We'll keep everyone updated!
