Noodle Out

Nine days ago Jayden braved her way through "Surgery Day" (which I will blog about next week when I have time to access her baby pix on the upstairs computer). Today she hurdled over fear yet again for "Noodle Out" day.

The noodle, not it's technical name of course, was a clear, plastic, macaroni noodle shaped devise that the surgeon sutured in her nostrils for support and better breathing during the 1st week of healing.
This purpose having been accomplished, we trekked down to Westwood this morning to have Dr. Bradley take it out. A super simple task --- he just snipped the stitch and pulled it out -- but it took a while as Jayden needed a good cry before she could trust that it wouldn't hurt. She'll tell you now that it was "soooooo easy!".

Here's pictures of :

--the kids loaded in the car for the journey through LA rush hour traffic. Had to make a pitstop at Starbucks first.
--in the parking garage of the UCLA Medical center with Malia Bear and Bobo Bear (another blog to come about these new friends).

And videos of

--the chaos of 3 kids in a waiting room
