Second Surgery a success now let's hope it works

Well today Emma under went her second surgery in less than 6months. Since she had her tubes put in, in May she has been having problems with her left ear. We tried everything to not have this surgery but nothing seemed to work so we scheduled another surgery. She did very well but it is very hard to see her have to go through so much in such a short period of time. I know it could be allot worse but to see your child sick and uncomfortable all the time is very hard. This surgery was no easier for Robert and I then the first one. It was a very hard morning and the minutes of waiting seemed like hours. Emma is a strong girl and all went as planned. Now we will wait and see if this tube will be successfull. I hope with the cold weather and not swimming will really help. Thank you eveyrone for all your thoughts, prayers and kind words. Love to all whom are always there by our side we couldn't do it without you!

A weekend not to be forgotten

This weekend made for a very special weekend for Emma and I. On Friday I took the day off and pulled Emma out of school for a surprise visit to Deerfield, NH to pick up Abbey. Nonna, Emma, Abbey and I headed to the Deerfield Fair and despite being soaked from all the rain it was a great day. It was so nice to see Abbey's town and to learn about all the things she does. Since she is in NH we do not get to see her alot so this was quite a special day. Friday night Abbey spent the night at my house and enjoyed a night of playing with Emma, movies and making brownies at 10 o'clock at night! Saturday Emma and I headed out for our annual apple picking day with Shara and Jacob. It was a great day and we got lots of apples. Today was a much needed day as a family so we cooked some yummy food, played and enjoyed a nice walk. All in all a TERRIFIC weekend!! Enjoy the photos.
