nine months

Nine months ago Lily changed my life. I feel so blessed to have this little girl in our family. I can't imagine life without her, and I am grateful for her sweetness every hour of the day! She is doing so fantastic and is the happiest girl around!

Fat roll at the elbow?

Fatroll at the forearm?
Sweet, I thought I was the only one in the world with a roll in the middle of my forearm.
Thanks Lily.

ABOUT

Lily (age 5 1/2) will have major bladder reconstruction surgery on Oct 29th at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. It will be an intensive 8 hour surgery, followed by 6 weeks recovery and therapy. Lily was born with Bladder Exstrophy, a very rare and complicated birth defect, and has had many surgeries and procedures in her life so far. This surgery will be an important step for her future. She will finally be continent after having to wear diapers, pull ups, and pads till now. It will not come easy though, as it will take many weeks of hard recovery in a city across the country from our home in California. I am making this blog/journal for my friends who also are dealing with bladder exstrophy, and also so that me and Lily will have a record of our experiences during this trial in our lives.
