Getting Closer!!

We are getting closer to having the new addition done and we are getting closer to welcoming the new baby! I am getting really excited about the baby coming soon. 6 1/2 weeks until my due date :)

The paint is on the walls and the carpet is down. Now all we need is trim and a few other details and we will be done!!

This is the hallway and it is a yellow color, but trust me, it is not THAT yellow!!! The room at the end is the safe room.

Maddy and Abby with their snowman. They were so proud.

My niece Sarah turned 8. I can't believe how fast these kids are growing up.

I must say, the new addition to the house looks wonderful. That must be so exciting to get that much more room. They have done a great job.
And the Baby? I cannot believe it is only 6 more weeks. I'm still routing for you that you deliver a boy.

Love and Prayers,

Rachel

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.
