So, We're home and alive... The Surgery

went very well, according to the surgeon. and as long as I

can get Brooklyn to take her pain medication she is

getting around and feeling better everyday. Time will

tell us if the surgery worked. That was my

first and hopefully last time being involved with

surgery and children. I could never have been

prepared enough for the post surgery. Not only did I

get to care for my suffering child but I was in the midst

of many suffering children, who did not have

the benefit of recovery as quickly as Brooklyn.

It was a very heart wrenching and helpless feeling.

I spent my 2 days trying to manipulate

Brooklyn into eating SOMETHING, ANYTHING,

because that was our ticket home, if any of

you know her, this was a very difficult task.

But as always I ALWAYS win, and we

made it home, Thursday afternoon.

Thanks so much to my sisters, Satya and

Jessyka, my mom and my visiting Teacher,

who took turns watching our kids for the 3 days.

More on them later...
