Allie's Surgery

As some of you may know on Dec 23rd Allie had to have surgery to remove a mass that was foumd under herr chin toward her neck. The surgeon felt that it needed to be done right away so the 23rd it was. We were supossed to be in San Diego at my Sister and Brother-in-Laws for the holiday so they were awesome and took Christmas to Fresno for this year as well as Mimi and Papa. We had to be at Childrens Hospital at 9:00am and her surgery was not till alomst Noon. We did lots of playing and goofing around with her. She was in the best spirits and never showed an ounce of concern or nervousness. Mimi, Papa, Grammie, Grandpa Jim, Grandma Tiffany, and Uncle Jim all were at the hospital to support our family. We had a few favorite moments....When Allie was told to get on the bed so they could take her to get ride of her lump, she looked at the anesthesiologist and said "I'm not sick, I just have a lump....I can walk" LOL that is so Allie!! Then next was in recovery, Steve and I were just standing next to her bed rubbing her hair when Steve said he was going to go get Papa to Allie. Allie responded " Daddy, Papa is in the window" We laughed knowing that she was on a lot of drugs. As Steve moved to leave, there was my Dad in the window making faces at Allie!!! We just got all the results back and her lump was a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst!! Totally benign!!
