It has been a while since my last post, and a LOT has occurred. Reilly celebrated her 5th Birthday with an EPIC Strawberry Shortcake party, complete with water balloons. She really had a great day. The kids have started school, but an interesting start it was. Cole had 2 days of school and then a little storm named Isaac decided to visit us here. No school for the entire week before Labor Day, including what was supposed to be Reilly's first day of Kindergarten. Try explaining that to a kid who doesn't fully understand the days of the week yet. However, we made it. Reilly has been really enjoying herself at school and seems to be handling everything well. She also, just yesterday, caught her first fish! The sound effects made the whole experience priceless. She was hooting and squealing when she actually reeled it in, we weren't really sure what was going on!
This week Reilly and I head back to Chicago for her 6 month post-surgery visit. Hard to believe it has been 6 months already. She has grown 3 inches since her surgery and she finally made it to 35 pounds! (It is such a big deal that we got a new car seat for making 35 pounds and keeping it on for 2 weeks!) So, this is a big check-up. I will update over the weekend with the news from Dr. Superina and what the CT scan indicates.
Given what happened last time, I will definitely hold onto my wallet without exception! Thanks for continuing to lift Reilly and our family up in prayer. Love to all.....
