Category: Thankful Thursday

• A very late post, but we are thankful that at Dani’s 2 week check up we got great news. Dr. Birch and Dr. Miller said she looked great and that we wouldn’t need to come back until July 7th when they put her under to take off the cast and check the leg. Then if it looks good she wakes up and goes home. If not, they put it back on for another 4 weeks.
• We are SO THANKFUL for all the people that have brought us food or given us Gift Cards so we haven’t had to think about cooking.
• Also for all the people who have offered to clean or do laundry or run errands. You have blessed us even if we didn’t take you up on the offers.

*I have blog posts all about the surgery and first two weeks coming up soon. The first 10 days or so were really rough and we are coming out of the haze now.*

We are thankful for how well Dani’s hip surgery went last week at Texas Scottish Rite. They had to do “the full court press” on her, but the doctors said it went as well as it could have. We also got to return home after just two nights in the hospital which was an amazing blessing.

She is very frustrated with the cast and being unable to move on her own, but we are hoping the worst of that will be over soon.

This is one of the gifts we received after returning home. The photo can’t possibly show how amazing it is and what a treasure it will be to save for Dani.

I am thankful for all the amazing love poured out to us after bringing Dani home. So many kind words of encouragement and love. And even special little gifts like the handmade scrapbook above.

Thank you so much for loving our little family!
