Surgery Was A Success!
Thanks for all the prayers for Johanna during her surgery! We are back in Idaho sooner than expected, and she is recovering nicely. The doctor was very happy with how surgery went and we were very happy with the wonderful surgeon that we found and the care that we received at Cedars Sinai! We know that the Lord led us to a wonderful doctor and we are so thankful. Johanna had her strange reaction in recovery again and they ended up moving her to the pediatric ICU instead of her regular room. But once again, she snapped out of it in the middle of the night and we were able to take her home to my parents house in the morning. We are now through with the major surgeries, so our next step will be speech therapy. Well, first a long recovery with no solid foods. Johanna is NOT happy! Have you ever seen a kid refuse ice cream and beg for a saltine?! Poor little thing. Please pray that the next 6 weeks fly by quickly for her. And if you have any creative recipes that she might like please let me know!

Will she do smoothies Mel? You can put all kinds of things in them. Our favorite is spinach, blueberry, cherry, banana. I also add some Ningxia Red and Greens first to up the healthiness of it. You can't taste the spinach at all and it would help keep her veggie intake up.
I'm so glad you guys are home already. Maybe God planned your move so you would find this doctor!
Yeaaaaaa! Been checking you blog over and over for news. So happy it's all done and now on the road to recovery. Sending you lots of hugs and smiles from your Guixi friends in MT. Susan, Mark and Kylie (Hui Mei)
PS> I see where you guys are in ID. now...where? We live in NW MT. So not to far away from Northern ID. anyway.
I was just going to suggest smoothies, too. I put cod liver oil in them and the kids have never noticed. I basically use raw honey, raw milk, whatever fruit I have, coconut oil and the cod liver oil.
When Emily had her tonsils out, she lived on applesauce and yogurt, but those are her favorite foods anyway.
Please email me with your new mailing address. We love y'all and we're glad the surgery went well!
