Tuesday, Instead of Wednesday

Yesterday we went in for Lynnea's Pre-op exam, and, due to a change in Dr. St. Louis' schedule, she will be having her surgery on Tuesday, Jan. 27, instead of on Wednesday.

We are enjoying our time at home as a family, even though it is sometimes hard trying to re-establish routines, etc. knowing that this is only a temporary situation. Ashlyn continues to enjoy helping with Lynnea, and is excited that her baby sister is at home with us. She talks about Lynnea going to the hospital to "have her heart fixed" and she is concerned about the "owies" on Lynnea's tummy (she is mainly referring to Lynnea's G-tube). We explained to Ashlyn that Lynnea's G-tube is called a button, and that we give her food through her button. Ashlyn accepted this explanation, but now keeps telling us that Lynnea has a "magic button" like Captain Feathersword on the Wiggles. I've given up trying to correct her on this, but I do have to insist that she doesn't push Lynnea's magic button. So far, she's been good about not touching it.
