This is a great idea, I think I might snag it for my blog. :) Marissa is a smiling, amazing trooper! She definately makes me smile every time I see her little face!
We just caught up from Christmas and New Years. We laughed, we cried with happiness and we thanked G-d for all the blessings on this family.
We love you all and are really happy you had wonderful holidays. We did too.
Love, Zeyda and Bubby
Looks like a very full year!
Happy New Year!!!
May this year bring many blessings to your family!!!
Love and Hugs!!!
What a year you've had!
Hoping 2010 brings health and happiness to you!
Wow! Looking back, as you allowed us to do in pictures, brings reality to how much did happen last year! Our hope for 2010 is that Marissa will be healthy, and happy and will continue to make strides in 2010 beyond anyone's expectations. We love you all....still enjoying the thoughts of a few days ago as we celebrated Christmas. Happy New Year!!
Love, Nana & PaPa
What a great review! You said she is going to have reconstructive surgery on her airway? the ENT told me Jax may need that before the trach comes out, but he said it would be a huge surgery. Like a 10 day ICU stay. Wow, we spent 4 months in PICU, but 10 days being expected for one surgery is a lot. Is hers going to be that big?
What a crazy year you had.. i loved your post. I hope this year she will spend less time in surgery.
