Hopefully Our Worst Christmas Ever & Lottie Sue Hulks Out

Hi everyone! Christmas is over and our house is almost bare of any Christmas decoration (we move fast).

So, this Christmas wasn't what we envisioned. She is totally fine, but Lottie Sue had emergency surgery Christmas night to fix her shunt. She just wasn't acting right and was showing (shunt issue) symptoms we were told to look out for. So we took her to the ER and after a ct scan and a set of x-rays they confirmed that her shunt was not working. That of course meant surgery to see what the issue was and to fix it. BUT after it was all said and done, everything is great. We can tell she is feeling SO much better and bounced back basically after she woke up from the surgery. This kid is amazing! The surgery was very short, the first thing they tried to fix was the problem and they didn't have to do anything invasive. She was feeling great afterwards and was able to go home on the 26th, and while she was in the ER and in her hospital room Santa Claus sent over a few gifts for her. So after it was all said and done we can say that this Christmas was actually pretty good because Lottie Sue is doing just fine and feeling great.

Alright, on to the photos...Hey Harlan - shake it, don't break it, took yo mamma nine months to make it...
