Dear Sydney,



You are continuing to feel better and better. Which makes us feel better too. We were so worried. Tomorrow kicks-off the start of your big week. Just typing those words made my stomach turn. We are going to drive as far as Twin Falls tomorrow night and stay with my grandma just to break up the trip a little bit. That way it won't feel quite so long. Then Monday morning we'll leave in time to get you to PCMC for your Pre-op. At this Pre-op they will perform a physical, do blood work, and a chest x-ray. Thankfully we don't have to starve you this time! But unfortunately we won't be able to feed you Monday night because you can't have anything in your stomach for the surgrey.

You are a sweet girl with a beautiful, contagious, radiant smile. I am so excited to have a little girl who I can't keep up with. I am excited for when you have so much energy I am completely exhausted by the end of the day. I can't wait for you to give us a run for our money. I want you to start rolling, to reach for things, to be able to hold your head up better, and to be able to eat more than 3 ounces without getting tired. It is so easy to take our good health for granted. We don't realize how blessed we are to have healthy bodies until we don't have it anymore. It is definitely something to be grateful for.

So many prayers are with you this week Sydney. There is so much support- more than what we realize. "Never let your praying knees get lazy."

All my love,
Mom
