Alexis Bulletin



It has been a rough month for our darling Alexis. Although this photo was taken on the Friday after her emergency appendectomy, by Monday she was not feeling well at all. Her Mom had been smart enough to rush her to emergency the first time when she had a tummy ache and she needed surgery! Many of us would have chalked it up to a stomach virus, but Laura took the precaution to check it out.

By the next day, she seemed to be healing and went home. When she came to celebrate Mikey's birthday dinner on Friday she was still in pain and went to see the surgeon on Monday. Tuesday morning she was back in surgery!

Three different types of infection had developed and as we waited for results, we all prayed hard and as usual, prayers were answered. Alexis is back home, hooked up to anitbiotic therapy and back on the mend. Please keep the prayers coming for a speedy recovery for our little sweetheart.

PS. Alexis DID tell me she was in no hurry to go home, "Because when you are in the hospital the people bring you whatever you WANT!" We have always said she was a smart little girl!
