Endoscopy

When we are at the hospital for Abigail in the day surgery unit (for an endoscopy) she always seems little to me.

Maybe that's because I get to care for her in such a sweet way.  Mothering her and taking care of each need.  It's a unique situation and even though I'd rather she not have all of these hospital visits I'm so grateful for the precious time with her.

But this time looking back at the photos she seemed so much older to me.

(finding her favorite nurse) (favorite since she was 22 months old!)

(In the procedure room, ready and getting a bit scared, about to go to sleep. Showing her gastroenterologist a photo on her phone of her bird)

(Recovery)


Yes, getting older.  But still little.
