The doctors did an MRI yesterday to check that the surgery worked and they said everything looks fine. We have to go back in 2 weeks to X Rays of her neck as a follow up. I am SO glad we are taking her to Primary's Children Hospital in Salt Lake, it is really worth the drive. Everyone there has been amazing with her and I really trust the doctors there.
Also, I am happy to say that she was approved for Shriners, I am pretty excited about that.
Anyway, the doctors said that it was totally fine for us to drive back to Vegas tomorrow, I can't wait to get home. Here are a couple pictures taken at the hospital.
This was taken when she was still at the NICU. Her face was pretty swollen from the surgery and they kept her breathing tube in out of precaution.
This was yesterday, as you can see she was already doing so much better!!
And this was today right before we left. She was in a pretty good mood. The nurse put a little bow in her hair...how cute is that?

Glad to hear she's doing so well! That last pic with the bow in her hair was adorable - you can really see her personality in it!
So if you guys are heading home, you'll actually be back when I'm up there next weekend! I'm not sure if I'll have any time, and the wife and kids unfortunately won't be there, but I'll be there from Thursday through Sunday for the events I'm working. We'll see!
I'm so glad she is doing well. It is so hard to see our little babies in the hospital.
She is just adorable!

Hi Alex! Thank you for checking out my blog, and for giving me the link to yours. I am so happy to hear that your Anais is doing so well after her surgery! I can't imagine how frightening it must have been for all of you, to see your baby girl go through that. She looks precious in that last photo with the bow in her hair. You have an absolutley beautiful family, and I look forward to getting to know you through blog world!
So happy to hear she is doing so great! That is exciting she will be going to Shriners. My Great Grandfather was really big into Shriners in Los Angeles and I've heard good things about it! Cole goes to Scottish Rite which is similar to Shriners and we love it!
So happy! She looked absolutely precious in these pics-she looked so peaceful. I am so happy that the surgery was a success! You must be so relieved to be going home.
So happy she's doing so well after such a scary surgery!
I am so glad to hear that Anais is doing so well after her surgery! You guys have been in my daily thoughts! I am sure that you are looking forward to heading home! Be safe!
I am so glad that Anais' surgery went so well! She is so beautiful, love the little yellow bow!
We are glad to hear that she is doing well! I added you because our little one also has achondroplasia and mike gave me the link to your page. You page is really helpful to me right now because lilah, our little one is going to be having the same/similar procedure in a few weeks. Your strength and love for your little one and family is very inspiring to us!
Thank you!
Whew! Thank goodness she's home, and now hopefully life can get back to "normal" if there is such a thing, right.
Hang in there!

Merci de laisser un commentaire sur mon blog, ca me fait tres plaisir!!
I have to say I just logged onto your site from “”what is normal” and it is like looking in a mirror. My name is Randi and I live in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada ( up by Alaska) and my daughter Sarah (Achon) has just had a decompression surgery on June 20, 2008 and we are off to the doctors this week for a follow up. I have a daughter Maddison (AH) who is 3 ½ years old and loves her sister soooooo much. We are off to have a follow up MIR to make sure nothing has grown back and another sleep study to see if her apnea has improved. Although this may seem odd, I am so glad to read your blog, that I am not the only one with the same emotions. I am so happy to hear that your daughter is well. I hope all the best for you and your family! Randi Cave
Hi Randi,
thank you for reading my blog. Do you have a blog? It does make it easier to know that other people are going through the same things.
