Over the last week I have been granted much needed perspective. One sick baby girl, 4 days in the hospital, mulitple tests, one ski trip canceled, one teeny-weeny panic attack, and many many tears later ... I have perspective. How blessed we are to have our sweet girl and many people to help us care for her. I also have a greater appreciation for all that my mom and dad endured. Mimi is definetly made of tougher stuff than I. How did she survive all my medical issues?? And all alone?? In the middle of last week's drama I was wallowing in pity and worry and lost it for about 5 minutes while sitting all alone (mostly) in the surgical waiting area for my baby to be moved to recovery. Then I realized that this is not the end of the world and many a mom has sat and cried tears for her sick baby, namely my own mom. Knowing that actually made me feel much better. My sweet girl is doing well and will thrive under our watchful care. How lucky we are to have such an amazing support system!! So although E missed her very first ski trip and romp in the snow, it snowed here yesterday (pics asap). So I bundled her up in in umpa-lumpa snowsuit and snow boots (gonna get my money's worth - dang it!!) and we played in the big fat snowflakes. We had so much fun and it was just another reminder to me that I must keep my eyes on all that's right with the world.
