So one of the reasons I got out of the habit of blogging was Brooklyn had another bout with kidney infections. So the day before Halloween they took out 2/3 of her right kidney out, poor thing. We just tried to make the best of the Holiday.
Brooklyn was a fairy princess. I called a few people in our ward and they let her come Trick-or-Treating 2 days early since she would be in the hospital. We have the greatest neighborhood!
Here is Brooklyn after surgery with Balloons and a Bear from Grandma Dee & Papa.
At the hospital they let kids paint their faces and get dressed up. She picked a witch! Sad that she has to sport an IV with it though.
Chandler was a Green Furry Monster.
Such a cute little monster.
Brooklyn was actually released A LOT earlier than we thought. She got to come home 24 hours after surgery. But she was pretty weak so she sat at my Mom's house & handed out candy to the other kids. It was actually really sad to watch because she would cry after all the girls in princess outfits came to the door. She wanted to go out and Trick-or-Treating so bad. I did give in and let her go to one house that was all decked out and spooky.
Overall we are glad they took the kidney out. Since they took it out we haven't had anymore infections, so we are grateful for that. We also are grateful for all the wonderful nurses and doctors at Primary Children's, they do such an amazing job!
