As most of you know, Buggy's life day was on the 2nd of this month. It has been 3 years since my beautiful babe had a grade 5 brain bleed which caused her heart to stop and her lungs to fill with fluid. Our life has been a rollercoaster since then. She has been a joy and a master teacher to me. She is now talking up a storm and putting four or five words together. Here is pic taken just a few days ago with her "jiggle vest" on. This wonderful invention has kept her out of the hospital for almost one year...yes, you read that right. No admissions since November of *last* year. I doubted that day would ever come when we could live our lives and not worry about constant hospital stays. We're not out of the woods completely yet, but things are definitely looking up on the short-term health front.
Little has a "little" cold. She snorted around in a pool of snot last night and this morning it is much worse. She doesn't seem to be cranky, though, so it's all good. Other than sleeping a little more than usual, she seems to be okay.
Today starts our first round of Parent teacher conference. We'll be seeing the teacher at Public School preschool. The big kids have conf next week.
As you can guess, with all of the girls around our house, we do "princess" a lot. Rapunzel is catching on to her letters and J caught this pic while she had made her own crown and sceptor.

Happy Life Day, sweet baby. That day, seeing your mommy cry, and listening to your brother say such a beautiful prayer, is going to be forever edged in my memory. You are a miracle, and being part of your life for a little while has truly been a blessing for me. I love you, and miss your sweet smile. :o)
Happy Life Day Buggie! We love you! Gotta love the jiggly vest and signing time video!
What a wonderful update, I am so happy for your family and for Buggy.
Happy Life Day Buggy!! I need to come visit and hear your stories your tellin' now!!! How exciting! Cool Crown, Princess Rapunzel!!
Happy Life Day Buggy! I remember getting so scared for another year, hoping we would get another one. You are a great mom and I applaud you for all your hard work.
I too have a miracle angel child. Our Kylie stopped breathing and was having seizures 7 hours after her birth. She had a inutero stroke. At 9 months we found out she needed heart surgery to correct a ASD in her heart. Kylie is almost 3 years old now. She amazes me each and every day. Our little girls are so special in every way! I would love to chat with you. You can email me at tigerlilygirl0@yahoo.com
