Open-Heart Surgery 1 Year Anniversary
This time last year, I was literally living through the hardest day of my life – Emerson’s open-heart surgery. It was an emotional roller-coaster of a day, to put it mildly. In fact, even just re-reading last years’ blog post from that day physically hurt my heart and made me sob all over again. That experience was gut-wrenching in the worst possible way, and something that still blows my mind sometimes:
my daughter had open-heart surgery when she was just three years old.
It’s not something that’s easy to grasp, even having lived through it. And somehow, it’s still not easy to grasp even after re-living it, through reading my old blog post, and looking back now that it’s been one full year since the surgery.
The good news though, is that we can now rejoice in the successful surgery and the healing of her heart!!! She may always have a “zipper scar” down the center of her tiny chest (it’s barely even noticeable in these photos, but certainly there in real life), and she may always have a cardiologist monitoring her heart through EKG’s and echocardiograms for the rest of her life. But she no longer has two holes in her heart, and she no longer has a dysfunctional valve, and the left side of her heart is no longer enlarged.

Pumpkin Spice Season
Jeff had another night out with his work friends after the conference tonight. It’s kinda late now (almost 9:30pm) and I’m just now getting to write tonight’s post. The girls and I had a good night together again, but everything was just a little bit later than usual, pushing everything back and back and back, so I’m just later than normal…
We had a good, fast drop-off at school this morning… Emmie wore some new shoes she got for her birthday, that finally fit now, I’d she’s wearing socks. Super cute though!
