Surgical Follow Up

Today Tahnee had another appointment at PMH. This time she was in to see the surgeon who did both surgeries. Chris came along again, and we drove up in separate cars. Once again I had to wait for over 10 minutes for a car park and was actually just parking when Chris drove in...and once again he waited all of 1 min before getting one!!!

Since we were early, we headed up to the NICU to see our favourite nurses. We were lucky enough to have all 3 of our favourites working :) This meant we could then get photos with them all too...something that I think I've mentioned before, that we neglected to do while Tahnee was an in-patient.

L-R: Chris, Frances, Nicole, Bec, Tamala

After visiting with the girls, we headed back down stairs to wait for the surgeon. We were called fairly quickly and shown into a curtained cubicle. We then waited for over half an hour, as the surgeon was speaking with another patient. During this time, Tahnee was laying on the bed and decided to go for a little cat nap.

When the surgeon came in, she was very happy with Tahnee and her progress. She said the scar was healing well and not to worry about the kidney being displaced (we still need to go for the second ultrasound on this). She said the muscles would strengthen over time and it would be fine. She is also happy with Tahnee's weight gain. However, we were sent up to X-ray, but at the moment I cant remember the reason why, probably just to double check everything. And our next appointment with the surgeon is next month - she kindly arranged for one to be made on the same day we see the developmental follow up team :)

The scar (the photo won't change to landscape - sorry!)

Lastly, I attempted to take some "staged" photos of Tahnee and Lucas the other day. Only Tahnee cooperated, and only for a short amount of time. This photo is one of a few that turned out nice :) (The embroidered "T" is on her bath towel and was made by my mum).
