Rose has surgery 7/31/09

We went to the University of Minnesota Medical Center to have Rose's infected cyst removed by Dr. Rimell, the same doctor that had done an emergency surgery on Sarah's cousin Ashley about 10 years ago.

A special treat - on surgery day babies get to hold the blackberry!

Rose held by Sarah on her way to surgery

Rose and Sarah off to surgery - Sarah got to stay with her until she was put to sleep, which was very hard for her to watch.

Rose in recovery - she woke up about 40 minutes after surgery and we were able to see her right after that. She is still hooked up to an IV, heart monitor, and blood pressure cuff at this point (all under the blanket).


Our little rock star pounding down the toast and juice after being unhooked from all the equipment - she was very hungry from not being able to eat all morning before the surgery.

Rose giving her new buddy Charlie Brown a honk on her way out of the hospital - the whole process lasted about 6 hours.
