Surgery & more Texas fun
"This is torture" Kevin says looking at the clock on the wall for the hundredth time that hour.
"Son relax everything is fine they are probably finishing up in there, and you will be able to see Brianna." His dad says trying to keep him calm
"Were you like this when I was born?" Kevin asks his dad
"Of course I was, and then when I saw you for the first time I knew everything was going to be fine." his dad says hugging him
"Thanks dad I'm totally scared for her." Kevin says looking at the doors that lead to the operating room
Kevin decided to head down to see how Brianna was, and he got there in the nick of time cause her surgery was done.
"Don't worry princess daddy gonna stay with you." he says when the doctors and nurses wheel her out of the O.R.
The whole way to her room Kevin brush Brianna's hair to let her know he was right there with her, and wasn't going to go anywhere.

Brianna was put into a regular hospital room to stay for a few days.
"Don't worry daddy is going to go home and get you your little teddy bear, for you to hug while you're in the hospital." Kevin says giving Brianna a quick kiss good-bye before heading home to get her bear.
Kevin comes back a few minutes later with the bear, her kitty, blanket, and her big sheep that Mr. Murphy gave her
"Here we go doodle bug you're all comfy for your stay in the hospital" he says putting the stuffed animals in with her.
Brianna just wanted her daddy for the moment not her stuffed animals.
"Okay sweetie how about we walk around for a little bit, and you can see some of where daddy grew up at?" he asks her
She lays her head on his shoulder.
"I thought so" he says carrying her out of the room with Ms. Bear.
His dad walks with her I.V pole right next to Kevin as Kevin tells Brianna some stories.
"When you bust out of here pappy and nana gonna take all the grandkids to the zoo" his dad tells her tickling her tummy causing her to giggle
"I bet she will like that" Kevin says as he rubs Brianna's back as she falls asleep
After Brianna fell asleep Kevin carried her back to the room to lay her down to let her sleep.
"Night my sweet girl" he says covering her up as she snoozed softly.
Since visiting hours were over Kevin and his dad had to go home, but promised to return tomorrow bright and early.
(Three days later)
"Brianna guess what today is the day you get released to come home with daddy princess." Kevin says happily as he enters her room with a cowgirl outfit for her to wear
Brianna gives him a toothy smile that could light up a room.
"Nana got this for you yesterday without daddy knowing" he says blowing rapberries on her belly making her laugh
Once Brianna had her cowgirl outfit on Kevin snapped a quick picture, and waited for her released papers, so she could go home. After she was released Kevin carried her out to the van where his mom was going to drive her back home to rest for tomorrow's zoo trip.
(The McHale's)
"Son can I hold Brianna I haven't had a chance to hold her yet?" his father asks him
"Sure dad. Brianna say hello to pappy" Kevin says placing Brianna in his father's arms
"Hi Brianna I'm you're pappy" his dad says holding Brianna for the first time
Brianna lets out a cute little yawn that was precious as pappy held her
"You sleepy huh" his dad asks her as he walks around the house with her
Brianna was held by her nana who rocked her to sleep, and when she fell asleep his mom handed Brianna back to Kevin so he could lay her in her crib
"Sweet dreams my little cowgirl" he says tucking her in the crib and kissing her good night
Kevin grabs the baby monitor and heads down to help his mom pick out Brianna's 1st Christmas gifts.
(Two hours later)
Kevin could hear Brianna on the monitor and he goes and gets her.
"Hey munchkin" his mom says tickling her belly
"She's feeling loads better then what she was" he says tossing her up in the air and catching her.
"I can tell" his mom says smiling
(The following day)
"Morning my little bee today you get to see the zoo for the first time in your life" he says as he dresses her in a warm outfit
After breakfast the whole family set off to the zoo in separate vehicles. Kevin rode with his parents cause they had the car seat in the van for Brianna
"Kevin I got a stroller for her" his mom says from the front as they pull into the zoo
"Thanks mom" Kevin says as he gets out to get the stroller for Brianna
Kevin sits it up for her, so she can see the zoo animals too. Kevin hangs out with his brother has he pushes the other stroller around the zoo
"How's life been with Brianna?" his brother asks him
"It's been a roller coaster ride, but I wouldn't trade it for anything" Kevin says smiling
"Neither would I" his brother says smiling
Brianna falls asleep around mid-morning, and Kevin take the opportunity to sit down with his brother whose son also fell asleep.
"Brianna sure is a light sleeper" his brother looking at Brianna who was snoozing softly
"Yeah you can barely hear her snore, and she just breathes in and out" Kevin says checking on her as she slept.
Once Brianna woke up two hours later she wanted fed
"Luckily daddy brought a bottle so he can feed you" Kevin says as he feeds Brianna
Brianna drank the entire bottle, and let out some good burps that followed
"Now off to see more animals" Kevin says heading to the penguins
By the end of the visit Brianna had most of the stuffed animals that she saw she was holding onto Mr. Elephant as they left the zoo
