Which I started solely because I just received the call that dd’s eye surgery is scheduled for 7:30am tomorrow! We should be in the car by 7 so that’s only an hour of dealing with no food/drink at home if she gets up at her usual 6. I’ve been super anxious the last couple nights about it and can’t wait for it to be behind us. Tagging peaseblossom55

It has been crazy here E had a cold mostly gone I am sick. I brought my car into the shop tonight it was making funny noises one of our cats as a tumor and we will most likely put her down in the next day or two. Work is insane. In other news next Friday I have a three year old. 😄Time is going by so fast. We are considering buying into Disney vacation club so yay more Disney. We shall see we also need to redo our master bathroom desperately. How is everything carrots?

Overall it went great! She slept in until 6:30 so we didn’t have to deal with any food drama. She did great with the pre-op stuff and it was kind of funny to see her act “drunk” after taking the pink juice. She was all floppy and cuddly and giggly. She just waved when they wheeled her away. They said surgery went great. However, coming out of anesthesia was ROUGH. She was pissed. We could hear her screaming as they took us back to recovery and she continued to scream until they released us and then screamed the entire car ride home 😬. You could tell she wasn’t truly awake yet and then she kept saying “mommy I don’t feeeeel good” 😭 After a little nap and some food she was back to normal.
She just got a couple doses of regular Tylenol yesterday, no drops or patches. Her glasses go back on and regular activities resume ASAP. We just have to make sure she doesn’t touch her eye for a while to avoid infection. The only side effect is a bright red demon eye which is pretty creepy.
I think the most stressful part was keeping her healthy the week before surgery (we skipped a lot of our usual classes/play dates etc) and then my anxiety brain running wild about anesthesia at night. But the day of surgery I was fine and in business mode.
Then of course ds puked last night and I was like omg thank the lucky stars, we made the surgery by 12 hours before germ disaster struck.

peaseblossom55 I’m so sorry to hear about your cat ❤️ I hate how everything seems to happen at once. I hope things settle down and everyone gets healthy. Mh is not a Disney person but is thinking about trip with the kids because of Star Wars.

I hope everything is well with you carrots! What is everyone doing go Halloween? Ds wanted to be a bat again so he’s reusing his costume from last year. I got him a new shirt for it that has a bunch of different bats and their names on it to wear with his wings and ears. Dd was easy to convince to reuse her bee costume again since it still fits. She runs around yelling “Buzzzzz! Sting! Pollinate!”

I’m sorry the time before was stressful and a little bit after. Glad it went well and it’s behind you now. Is there any other follow ups needed?

We are redoing our Halloween from Disney and being the incredibles again. Emi’s birthday party is toy story themed. She wanted princess but with boys coming we figured you story was better.

She has a follow up appointment this Thursday to make sure everything is healing fine. I’m not sure if we’ll be back to the 3 or 6 month ophthalmologist appointments after that. ETA: there is always the possibility she will need another surgery in the future as her eye grows if the strabismus gets worse again and can’t be controlled with her bifocals like what happened this time.

Glad to hear things went well and the timing worked out for her to stay healthy Lakes! That is truly a feat this time of year! We did Incredibles last year peaseblossom55 and it was so fun! The kids are still squeezing into their costumes to play.

We’re doing Toy Story costumes for Halloween! M is Bo Peep, DS is Buzz Lightyear, I’m Jessie, and H is Woody. The kids are so Halloween obsessed and excited! We’re going to pick out pumpkins this afternoon and finally caved last weekend and bought some tacky inflatables for the yard.
M has been begging and begging for short hair so we got it cut on Friday. It’s so cute and so much easier to deal with! Not a great comparison but I haven’t taken many pictures since the cut: Poof

Hi Strangers! I've just finally read through the last 6 months of posts. I'm the worst... (atrb_partsz) Lakes, so glad the surgery went well. carrots - M is adorable. That's our go-to hairstyle with A, too. peaseblossom55, I like the toy story theme for a party! A and her big sis (newly 5), just started lacrosse this past weekend. It's as adorable as you would expect. And as big of a cluster as you can imagine.

Omg tiny lacrosse sounds too cute judyblume14! M started gymnastics this month is LOVES it. She’s also begging to take ballet classes so we might give that a whirl in January. But really I want to get her on the soccer field bc I think she would be great! And she’s going to start swim lessons in January once she’s old enough to do them without me in the water. I’m going to try having her and DS in the same class and see how that goes. He’s a pretty good little swimmer (can do 25 meters of backstroke and is close to doing that of freestyle) so I would love to see him make her comfortable and motivate her!

Dd got the all clear for her eye today! It’s healing so well the ophthalmologist said he couldn’t even tell he did the surgery. Her eye color is almost normal too. Just a tad pink instead of demon red. She has another post-op follow up in two months. So far the turn is much improved. He sees it a little without the glasses but if she uses her bifocals correctly, there’s no turn 🎉🎉

Birthday was awesome! She really understood it this year too. Her party was great as well.
Now onto Halloween this week. It’s supposed to rain Thursday and I’m hoping it doesn’t.

I hope the rain holds off because just like E and her birthday, I feel like my kids truly get the concept of Halloween and they’re so excited. Ds figured it out about halfway into trick or treating last year and it was so nice to see him overcome his shyness for a little bit. I was hoping for a repeat this year.

Still looks kick rain the forecast but I’m hoping it’s a light drizzle. She did trunk or treat at school today though. I think we will take her even for a little bit if it rains.

Hope the rain holds off and you get to trick or treat Lakes and @peaseblossom5! We’ve had a gross forecast but it looks like the rain might clear around 4. My kids are SO excited. M cried this morning bc it’s Halloween but not ToT time yet. But they both went to school in superhero costumes (bc I didn’t want them ruining their Toy Story ones). Please come back and post Halloween pictures tomorrow! Would love to see all the cute costumes!
