A Little Internal Comestic Surgery

Alora was born with a small umbilical hernia that her pediatrician thought would eventually heal itself. Unfortunately, it did not. As a result, she had to have a minor outpatient surgery to correct it. Her surgery took place today at the Rosenburg Surgical Facility, which is linked to Phoenix Children's Hospital where Noah had his hip surgery. Alora was surprisingly brave and didn't show any fear going back to the operating room or during recovery. Her only complaint was that she was hungry since she had to fast since last night. That was soon fixed by a Happy Meal from McDonalds (although the doctor and nurses suggested nothing greasy for a day or so).

(She wasn't crying from the pain, she was crying because I wanted to take a post-op picture!)
