Spoiled

I am spoiled rotten. My sweet sweet beautiful baby girl is doing AMAZING!  Better than I ever could have hoped for. She is chubby,  she is pink, she is happy, she is so smart and incredibly strong. Tomorrow we venture back to Primary Children's hospital for a cardiac MRI and look at scheduling a date for surgery 2.

I never finished this post and it is now june 21. The girls have been at girls camp all week and Trace has been on a missionary prep high adventure activity. I have always loved my children but going through this with Ellcy, my love has reached a different level. I am grateful for that, forever grateful, though it has proved to make this week extra long and lonely.

MRI went well and surgery is scheduled for Monday July 8. I'm scared to death. I can't be with out her she's been my entire life for the last six months. I remember too well waiting through the last surgery and seeing her after. Though I loved her then I treasure every ounce of her now. If it took strength before I'm in trouble this go round. But when strong is your only choice then strong you become, right? ! Somedays I wish I didn't know that to be true first hand.

  1. You are so sweet! Ellcy couldn't have better parents. I have been thinking of you lately and can only imagine the heartache you must be feeling at this time. While I don't envy your trials, I am renewed by your strength and increasing love and gratitude for your family! Keep the Faith!!
