Amelia and Ashlyn being so close in age, definitely puts your situation in perspective! I found your words encouraging and love the fact that you are giving thanks at a time like this. God is good.

She is such a sweet, tender hearted little girl, and I am very much looking forward to being a part of her life for the next 8 months. Please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you guys, and we will pray for Amelia during staff meetings and during the days she would normally be there, but can't.<BR/><BR/>I had no idea about her heart problems. My brother was born with a congenital heart defect, so I am very familiar with CHD's and what goes along with them. He had open heart surgery when he was 6 months, 2 years, 4 years and 8 years of age. His is 43 years old now and married with a son. I have all the confidence in the world that God will be with you and your family during these trying times. <BR/><BR/>Keep me posted, by phone and email on her progress, she has already stolen my heart. <BR/><BR/>Love and hugs,<BR/>"Ms. Maria" PetersonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885162677103738173.post-82822457524847306292008-09-08T15:55:00.000-05:002008-09-08T15:55:00.000-05:00dude. i'll be thinking about you guys. curt's litt...dude. i'll be thinking about you guys. curt's little girl, teegin, who also happens to be my niece was born with a lot of health problems. it was hard on me even though i'm not her mom and i live in ny--and it was extremely hard on curt and jennifer. she's had more surgeries than me and she's not even 2!<BR/><BR/>you're in good hands at the scottish rite. my cousin spent quite a bit of time there. she was born with her insides on the outside, which means she never had a belly button, among other things. one of her feet didn't develop properly--it's missing some parts, so she only has a big toe and a little toe on that foot that make kind of a claw shape. it's pretty cool. she's 20 now and smarter than any of us.<BR/><BR/>kids can be cruel and if it weren't her thumb/finger, they'd probably find something else. my best haircutter only had 3 fingers on one of her hands and i didn't even know until i had been going there for a year. one of my friends who i referred her way pointed it out--saying how awesome it was that she could cut so well with less fingers. <BR/><BR/>a guy i worked with up here got into a bad car accident that resulted in his thumb and three of his fingers on his right hand being severed. they put his big toe from one of his feet onto his hand to replace his thumb, so it's kind of like a claw. i hadn't noticed that either until somebody else pointed it out. he's one of the fastest typers and designers i've ever been around. <BR/><BR/>my point is that there are missing digits all over the place in my life and every single one of them do the same things as everyone else--only in most cases, they seem to do it better. <BR/><BR/>she's lucky kid to have parents who love her and think she's awesome no matter what. i think the best things you can ever give a kid are love and confidence.<BR/><BR/>worst-case scenario is that some kid makes fun of her one day at school--if that happens, give me the kid's name and i'll take care of it.minus fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02878687181826931183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885162677103738173.post-71066709687674641322008-09-08T15:31:00.000-05:002008-09-08T15:31:00.000-05:00thx for sharing about amelia's upcoming surgery we...thx for sharing about amelia's upcoming surgery wed--i'll be thinking about you guys and praying for you. it's so hard when little ones have to go through all this stuff--it's probably harder on us parents, especially b/c we wish we could do it for them:)<BR/><BR/>good for you for reinforcing in amelia that she is and always will be a beautiful creation of God. at our house we're big believers that different is good--you've seen our family portrait! let us know how things go wednesday.meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431251576772859986noreply@blogger.com
