A Lollipop Deserving Day

Anna had surgery at the end of April for chronic nose bleeds and a blocked tear duct. Considering that she's had no complications post-operatively, I was assuming that her post-op ENT appointment today would be super quick. However, while sitting waiting on the doctor to come, her nose began bleeding profusely! (I, of course, had just bragged to the nurse that she hadn't had a single nose bleed since her surgery). After almost 2 hours of pinching her nose at the ENT's office they sent us to Children's Urgent Care. She ended up having to have labs drawn to check her blood count and clotting factors and faces another potential surgery. :( She declined Children's offer of a popsicle and sticker and Mommy's offer of a milkshake---stating, "Mommy, I think I deserve a lollipop." So, needless to say, on the way home we stopped for a lollipop treat (and of course she wanted to buy one for her brother too)!

I love that she said,"I think I deserve a lollipop." That's so cute! I hope all the lab results turn out ok and I'm praying that she will not have to have another surgery.
