Things are well at the Harris Home : )

We started our week out preparing for Kaitrynn's surgery. Monday we spent the day preparing. We also went and spent the day in Kaysville and visited Grandma and Grandpa. Brennen gave Kaitrynn and I a blessing. It was a real comfort to know that things would go well. She was scheduled to arrive for surgery at 10:45 am. She couldn't eat or drink anything after 9:15 am. We got there and got all checked in. We waited and we waited. The nurse finally came at 11:30 and said that the surgery time was 12:30 and that the Dr. would be down to see us then. 2:00 came still no Doctor. I asked the nurse and she said that the Dr. was behind from the last surgery. By this time Kaitrynn was fit to be tide. It was 5 hours since she had anything in her stomach. She slept part of the time, but the time she was awake she wasn't happy and nothing would make her happy not even her binkie. Finally at about 2:30 pm the Dr. walks out to see if there were any questions before the surgery? That was the easiest part of the day handing her to the surgical team. I thought that was going to be the hardest part. The hardest part was seeing her so..... hungry all those hours and not able to give her anything :( . She made it through the surgery with flying colors. They kept her over night that night in the post opp area. She smiled at Brennen first. She finally seemed to really wake up about 9:30 pm. She seemed to snub Mom like it was my fault. She really wouldn't give me eye contact. She stayed that night in the post opp 23 hour observation area. She became dehydrated that night and was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. She was able to rest and have some lortab for the pain. By Wednesday afternoon she was smiling at me. I was grateful I didn't want her to think that it was my fault that she had the surgery. She came home on Thursday afternoon. She has had a great weekend up to this point. She weighs 11lbs 4 oz now. She is making good progress. She seems to be happier.

Brennen had a job transfer that fell in his lap within the last week or so. Yesterday was his first day. He is still with Rc Willey. He is part of there WOW team. The home installation team. This is a great move for him. He has the 7 Rc Willey stores feeding his team business. He will have his own van and trailer to drive around and he will have a helper. He will be responsible for this helper and the jobs that are assigned to him. He will be setting up surround sound systems and big screen TV's Etc. The commission will be better in a since that we won't have to worry about returns on him. Brennen is so..... excited to be able to do this and learn a trade. It will give him the chance use the skills he is good at. I am excited for him and am grateful to my heavenly father for blessing us with this opportunity.


I am loving staying at home with my girls. Kaitrynn seems to enjoy being at home with Mom. I am hoping things will calm down now that Kaitrynn is stable with her tube. I am grateful for my family and friends for all that has been done for our family. We have been through a lot the last 4 months, but we sure have seen the great blessings a long the way. We love you all and have a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!! Love You ALL, The Harris Family
