April 2007:The day of the surgery. Nana has static hair.
The first official photo without the O2 cannula!
Last photo with the button
Taking it out...
YAY! WHAT A BIG GIRL!!!!!Big news! Raychel said good-bye to her button today! James and I had been feeling like it was time for a while now. We went in and saw the GI doctor this morning, and he gave us the green light. Raychel now weighs a whopping 31 pounds! She has proven she is a big girl by maintaining and GAINING weight on her own (if only I had problems gaining weight!) for a year now. I am so proud of my girl! These moments are always a little strange for me. I remember the day Raychel was taken off her O2, and I had that same feeling today when I was told I could take out the button. I start to get a little attached to these devices...like they become a part of her. Anyway, I was shaking my booty the entire way out of the doctor's office this morning!

31# is good for a girl her age of her body frame! Congrats.
Congrats! I know it must feel awesome to have that gone! Good job, Raychel!!
Wow, did you take it out yourself? Good job Dr. Mom!
Wow! It looks like things are going really good for little Miss Raychel. And by the way, Happy Anniversary, very cute earings, and very VERY cute photos of your girls (I'm a tad behind).
WOW-----She is our little miracle!! After reading the blog today I found myself getting teary eyed. She has come a long way baby! And I am so proud of you and James and the way you both take care of my sweet granddaughters:)
Love Mom
I totally agree! Raychel has come such a long way, I am so excited for her, will she have a scar? She is one of the most amazing girls I will probably ever meet, I am honored to know such an amazing brave girl! I know she gets her strength from her momma :-)
HIP HIP HORRAY for Raychel!!! Amen to that strength from her Mama!! XOXO

I'm so proud of my Raychey Roo! Such a big girl! She now weighs more than Chris :) (does this mean you are actually going to have to buy Pediasure now?? ha ha ha)
