Naughty or Nice ...

Have you been naughty or nice?!? Here is Santa and me ... I'm number one on HIS list!

Well, only just a couple more days until the next surgery. We have one more pre-op appointment this week with her surgeon. We hope that Sydney stays healthy and that her lungs stay clear (she also has asthma) for the surgery.

It was a pretty laid back day for Sydney ... as it will be the rest of the week. Just trying to keep her in a little bit of a 'quarantine' until her surgery.

Thanks for your comments. Sydney says, "HELLO!"

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We hope that everyone had a Safe & Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for: We're thankful for each and every one of your thoughts & prayers. We're thankful for ALL of the comments on the blog (we read each one with Sydney). We're thankful for the team of doctors, nurses and staff at both Nemours and Wolfson Children's Hospital, especially Dr. Loveless and Dr. Sapolsky.

We've got more pics to post soon ... until next time.

Smiles,

Jaguars ROAR and Blue Angels event

Hello everyone!

I know, I know ... it's been awhile. A LONG while at that. So sorry, but I hope to get everyone "up to speed" with some posts.

Above is a picture of Sydney with the ROAR cheerleaders at the Blue Angels event in town. We had an AMAZING time -- she got to meet and get the autographs of EACH of the Blue Angel pilots. They signed her little autograph book, but they also signed her back brace. A couple of the cheerleaders signed it as well.

T-minus less than 2 weeks until her next surgery. We've started to do all of her "pre-op" appointments ... her pediatrician actually said that this is the healthiest she's seen Sydney during this time of year. Yes, the mild weather does help -- but we hope and pray that she continues to stay healthy for this upcoming surgery.

Until next time ...

Love & Laughs,
