Thursday morning Molly went in for surgery, to get tubes put in her ears. A very common procedure done to most kids. She always had ear infections and chronic fluid in her ears. She also doesn't eat anything, so we are hoping that it is because of the fluid in her ears. If not we will be seeing the nutritionist. Anyway, I was so nervous about the surgery even though it is quick and common. The thought of putting Molly under and not getting to be there with her was scary to me. We had to be checked in at the hospital at 6:00 AM. I was also worried about having to wake her up so early and not being able to give her a sippy cup because she had to fast. Little did I know when she woke up at 5:30 it only took a few minutes for her to wake up she was happy as could be and giggling the whole way to the hospital. However, it didn't take long before she knew something was up. She hates the doctor. She won't let them do anything. So when they took her back they just had her stand on a scale to get weighed but when I went to lift her on it she wouldn't even put her feet down, and that was just the start. They couldn't measure her or get her vitals, if anyone talked to her she screamed worse, then more nurses tried talking to her and she was not happy. After signing a million papers and talking to all of the staff involved they took my baby from my arms. I could hear her screaming all down the hall, and that is when I lost it. Ok ok I am a cry baby, but I am pregnant so I have an excuse right? The procedure only took about 15 minutes and then she was moved to recovery to wake up from the anesthesia. It took her longer then most babies to come out of it. She was pretty grumpy for the first couple of hours being home and she was totally uncoordinated. She did back flips all the way down the stairs, and walked like she was drunk. Luckily she is back to her silly little self again. I tried to take pictures of her in the cute little hospital PJ's but our camera is stupid, so no pictures.

A Prayer for Michelle
Many of you that know my family, know that it is a constant struggle with my sister Michelle. It is a never ending battle with her. It is heartbreaking to watch her ruin 
her life and the life of her innocent kids. Michelle has been heavily into drugs for some time now, and was court ordered to finish a rehab, and never did. Since she walked from the center she has continued to down fall. She hasn't had a job in probably 2 years, no place to live, and the worst part has basically given up on her kids. Her kids mean the world to us. My nephew Brayden lived with us last year and he and Molly became best of friends. When we got Brayden he was just starting Kindergarten. He new nothing. Not even letters. He tested as the lowest kid in the entire school. It was so fun to watch him thrive as the year went on. He learned to read anything put in front of him, math, writing, etc. He loved school. By the end of the year he tested the highest in fact at a 2nd grade level. My sister and her husband had my niece Kylah who was 2 and basically addicted to drugs, way malnourished, and out of control. She also thrived into a whole new girl. Over Christmas break they were with their other grandparents visiting, and their dad came and took them for good. He is also a drug addict and abusive. He doesn't want the kids at all but just wants to make my sister mad. We have no contact with the kids now, we don't know where they live and their dad has blocked every number we try to call from. We are constantly worrying and praying that the kids will be safe but it is out of our control. My sister has custody of the kids but she is not changing her ways to get them and take care of them.

This weekend we got a phone call from Michelle saying she was arrested and taken to jail. Which is actually probably the best place for her because we know she is safe, off drugs, has a bed,and getting fed. She calls everyday multiple times begging to be bailed out. It is difficult to sit back and watch this all happen. The hardest part is not seeing the kids, and not knowing if we ever will. We just hope and pray that one day Michelle will take control of her life and start putting her kids first. I don't know how anyone could ever let their kids go, they deserve so much more.
