(Natalie, pre-surgery)
We just heard from the nurse--Natalie made it through surgery with flying colors. What a relief! They are putting on her cast as I type this, then she will spend a short amount of time in the recovery unit before heading up to her room to be with us.
Thank you for your prayers, please continue those prayers as she recovers and is at high risk for contracting pneumonia. We are also not sure yet whether she will need a blood transfusion. Everything looks good so far, though!
I mentioned this on facebook, but I'll also note it here: her nurse during surgery is named Cheryl, the same name as Natalie's big sister in Heaven. Cheryl is her guardian angel today. :)
If you have any special words you'd like to share with Natalie, post it in the comments section here and I will read them to her today. Thank you for all of the love you have shown for our Sweet Natalie B!
Hi Natalie! What a brave girl you are! Meredith and I talked about you all morning and how you're visiting the big hospital getting your new hips; she thought that sounded pretty neat. We are glad you stopped by to visit us yesterday before you left and we can't wait to see you again soon. Rest up and enjoy all the snuggles from your mommy and daddy (and grandmas and grandpas, too--your special friend Grandpa Jim called this morning and said he was heading over to see you today too!). Tell your mommy to give you four big noisy kisses from Auntie, Uncle Charlie, Meredith and Baby Nolan...we love you!
