My “In Time”

Almost a year later and I can still not write down the details of Alyssa’s surgery and stay at the hospital. Everytime I try to write it all out I get vivid images of Alyssa laying on the table hooked to the tree of drugs and I break down. I believe we handled ourselves well and the overall experience was what it was supposed to be. I just choose to not try to relive it, especially because she is doing so well now. 🙂 So instead I will be sharing some photos so those that may stumble upon this blog can become aware of what they may see and what to prepare for. (as if there really is a way to prepare to see your child have
To go thru open heart surgery). Alyssa is now almost 15 months old and she is walking all over the place, she is thriving and 19lbs, and she is laughing and smiling all of the time. She hasn’t yet said any words and the dr’s told us that it may be a possibility that she would be a little behind the curve so today we called to try to get Alyssa into speech therapy. Overall, we couldn’t be more proud of our Alyssa Roze! We are very blessed.
