Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to FIGHT

.. here we go again.

7 days and counting. I can't believe we're doing the countdown thing AGAIN!! Ahhh! Its ok. We will make it. This week is going to be tough. Of course we want to PLAY PLAY and PLAY somemore.. But we also want her to stay healthy and well.. unfortunately the 2 don't work together. The crappy thing about sitting home (other than the obvious) is that everytime i think about leaving, or going somewhere, i'm reminded of why we can't, and my mind gets a rollin! Its not worth leaving. Germs are everywhere and i'm not risking her getting sick again. Today we are playing in the sprinklers. Tomorrow.. Wed.. Thurs.. Fri.. Sat.. Hmmm.. who knows what we'll do! Libbi would be perfectly content watching shows and playing at home, but the olders are not so content with that! Wish me luck!!! :) GNO every night this week?! I think so!!
 

I got kids meals last week and i requested 4 different books. Low and behold, Libbi pulls this out of her bag! The kids thought it was really funny and coincidental! I must agree.

Hike to the 'X'

We live by the U on the mountain. All summer Libbi keeps saying "I gonna climb to that X one day" Well, we decided it was time. We recruited some helpers, that have been there many times, and off we went!!

 

..a little help from Daddio

and of course some posing :)
 


When we got to the U she said "I Libbi Strong"
Ya. I know. I can't handle her.
 
 
 

Libbi needed some help, but she DID IT!! And she is soo proud that she hiked all the way up that mountain to the 'X'
Disclaimer: we drove most the way, the hike was about 20 minutes is all ;)

S-P-O-I-L-E-D

If Libbi says jump, dad jumps. If Libbi says wagon ride, dad pulls her, even if its 100 degrees and quite the walk to the park! Luckily Uncles James came to the rescue (Kurts that is..) and helped them out a bit! Ha ha! These Dixon brothers are quite the thinkers. No wonder Kurt likes Mcgyver!!

A day at the Zoo...

The little stink would not let me take her picture!!
 
 
 
 
 

Libbi was way tired and it was SOO hot, so she got carried around and spoiled a bit :) She loves the seals, that was for sure her favorite part of the good ol Zoo!!

Dr Rosey!

What a guy!! Dr Rose called from PCMC, he was up there to visit Libbi, however, she wasn't there! SOO He came to our house! Brought her a balloon and visited for a bit. Man, we're sure going to miss this man! He retired to go on a medical mission for the LDS Church with his wife.
*We just happened to have a few folks over playing night games, ALL of which were his patients! So fun!!

Changes..

 Libbi Lemonade!! The kids (Jerzi) had a great idea to sell lemonade and all the money raised was going to pay for Libbis surgery! What a sweet sister :) They made 35 Bucks! Not too shabby!!!


Also. Blogger. Ugh. It has changed! Its changed its layout, format and my life! BUG! Why do things have to change? Bug me!! I used to blog from Picasa, now i can't! Ive got to rearrange my pictures now so i can blog. So annoying. So i apologize for the lack of updates, i hope to get both blogs updated in the next few days. That is my goal. In other changes..We are onto the 14 day countdown to Fontan. Again. I'm backed to being bothered today. AGAIN!?! Seriously! I already did the 14 day countdown. And i'm doing it AGAIN!! I must be strong. Libbi Strong :) It didn't hit me until today that we are back to 2 weeks away. 5 weeks went WAY TOO FAST!!! Heres the big question of the day.. do i put her in her bubble again, for 2 weeks, or just live? Last time she was bubbled for almost 6 weeks and STILL got sick! Can't decide how far to stretch the bubble. Hmmm...

This is Paul Cardell's CHD video. (I put it at the bottom of the blog, it fits best there..) It is shocking how many people, young and old are dealing with the same type of things we are. Take 9 minutes and watch, these are some of the cutest babies i've seen!! Libbi is about 6 and a half minutes into the video. (make sure you scroll down and pause my music playlist so you can hear his music, he is a pianist, it is very pretty!)
