Happy Easter

Abby and Sarah. Happy 7th Birthday Sarah!!

Maddy egg hunts

Bella in her pretty dress

Okay, so I had this nasty old yucky brown buffet. Well, I wanted to spruce it up a little, so I painted in and then sanded it to give it that antique look. I personally love it. However, I have gotten mixed reviews!!

Bella and the Easter Bunny

So there is not much to report. Our cardiology appointment went well. He said it looks like everything is working as it should. So we don't see cardiology again until the end of next month. They did do an echo and her pressures look great. Enjoy the Easter Pics. My children are literally bouncing off the walls with all the sugar they have consumed today!!

Izzy, Emmy 'N Alexander said...: I like the buffet and as a matter of fact, I have one just like it. Mine was a nasty orange so we sanded it and have thus far left it it's natural oak. Does your middle bottom door open? Mine doesn't, it's just for looks. Kinda sucks having to reach all the way in there sometimes. Girls looked great for Easter!; Monday, March 24, 2008 8:34:00 AM

Story of Isabella Grace Gudde

Isabella was born December 23, 2006. She was born with a congenital heart defect called Truncus Arteriosus. She also was diagnosed with a deletion on her 22nd chromosome known as DiGeorge Syndrome. She had her first open heart surgery Febuary 27, 2007. She had 5 med flights last year. She had pulmonary hypertension and kept going into respiratory distress. After the 4th med flight, they decided to put in a trach and put her on the ventilator. She was home for 4 days before she was flown back. The fifth time was the worst. I really thought we were going to lose her. She again showed great strength and determination. She had a cardiac arrest on Aug 1, 2007. She was left brain damaged and we were told she was blind and deaf. Matt and I never accepted this fate and as time has gone on we have seen miracle after miracle. Bella now has her hearing back and much of her sight. She is still very far behind, but is making progress everyday. She came home September 12, 2007 after spending almost 160 days at Childrens Mercy in 2007. She was at home up until this February. She went in for her monthly check up and we found out she had a huge aneurysm at the conduit site on her heart. She underwent her second open heart surgery on February 21, 2008, just 6 days short from being one year post op from her first surgery. She is now home and doing fabulous. Enjoy the stories of our everyday miracles with Isabella.
