The Passing Months

Forgive me friends, but it's been many months since my last post. We ARE still here though!

For those of you who don't know, my attention has been on my baby girl, Yvette, who is now almost 3. Sick with high fevers and seizures for the past year and a half, I think we are now close to a diagnosis. We're working with wonderful doctors (who have just run a gamut of tests) and we're patiently awaiting results. We should have the answers, and a plan, by her next apt Nov 3rd. I'll keep you posted.

We've had a few hospital stays. And on them, she was donated a couple of stuffed toys and a hand made, child-sized quilt. It made me think about what we are trying to do here. It also felt wonderful receiving something someone had put so much time and love into. I want to be a part of creating & giving that special personalized gift to another child as well.

I also saw how sad and scared she was, and how hugging her dolls from home gave her comfort. This comfort is needed by so many children out there and I wish we could share so much more.
