Recently...

Life is so random... Elizabeth recently had Appendicitis and had to undergo her first surgery. The experience was a good one. The pain at the beginning was so bad, but the relief she felt after the surgery was such a huge difference, that overall it was a good experience. The kids had a hard time with the idea of Mommy having to go to the hospital. When Travis took Elizabeth to the ER, Abby had a VERY worried look on her face. After the tests were done and the surgery had taken place, Travis called and talked with the kids. They were much better...except for Megan. She heard that Mommy got "cut open" and thought Daddy let the doctor cut her open while she laid there screaming. Luckily, Grandpa explained the concept of surgery to her. As soon as Megan understood that Mommy was asleep and didn't feel a thing, she was content. Elizabeth checked into the ER Sunday evening, surgery was early Monday morning, the kids went to the hospital to visit Monday morning and Monday evening, and Elizabeth went home Tuesday morning before noon.

Adoption... Travis and Elizabeth finished Foster Care/Adoption classes through the State about a week ago. We are very apprehensive about foster care, but who knows. We are just mostly worried about having to deal with the biological parents, which we would have to do if we do foster care. We can't wait to see our little one!
