Libbi, our example

We went today for Libbi's heart cath, where they go into her veins in her thighs to test her pressures. She did amazing! I can't believe this little girl is so strong! I got to thinking this weekend about her and that she chose to come to this family and I'm sure she knew what she would have to endure, but yet she still wanted to come to this life. She has already been through so much in her short little life, I admire her strength. Today as i watched her come out of her anthesia i sat in awe. She had just gone through surgery and i'm sure was in alot of pain. She had a breathing tube that had been removed but her little cry was so raspy and you could tell it hurt. But yet she lay there just looking around at the world, barely even crying. I thought to myself, if anyone thinks they can't do it anymore, just think of this little girl who keeps on doing it! She keeps on trying and keeps on succeding! She keeps beating odds, she keeps striving to live. Every time she goes through something the nurses say she is amazing! "She's doing miraculous" is what they say. And I agree. She is miraculous!! As for tonight, she has bandages on both her thighs and she is hurting. Her cry breaks my heart. Her little eyes look as if she's been in a boxing match. Her other hand now bruised from her IV. But here she is, at home again. She is my example to keep on fighting and to strive to be the best I can be! I love her so much! They found today that she DOES NOT need the banding surgery after all! We are back to waiting as long as we can for the Glen. Hopefully 4-8 months. And now I am not even scared. I've seen this girl fight and fight and win and win and I know that she will do 'miraculous' when the time comes to have her surgery. I don't even doubt her anymore. She is "supergirl" without a doubt!!!!!!

Her poor little eyes. She looks like she's been hangin with Rocky!

ok really.. when Jerzi had her tonsils out we had the same problem, doesn't anybody think a GIRL deserves a pink gown??
