It seems like such a long time ago that we woke at 5am, pulled our little girl out of her bed, put her in the car and drove to the Hospital for Sick Children to fix a hole in her heart.

| The day she proved to us just how strong she really is. |
It has in fact been 6 months... only 6 months! Which means she can stop taking the medication too, HOORAY!! All that's left is a visit with her cardiologist and we can close the book on this chapter. Deo Gratias!
What DOES seem like just a blink of an eye ago, was when Micaela was born!
 |
| Only 12 hours old. |
That was 6 years ago... 6 whole years! How can 6 years seem like just the other day and yet 6 months are a lifetime ago?? Could it be because she has just brought so much joy, happiness and laughter into our lives? I think so. As much as she has the ability to just drill a whole into my eardrums when she whines, her laughter (which has become much more frequent) patches it up in an instant. She has meltdowns about the most trivial things, but her beautiful smile melts all meltdowns away. She is growing up right before my eyes, and so quickly too.
In 2 days, she turns 6. Each day since her birth has been such a blessing and as hard as it sometimes gets, I wouldn't trade being her mom for anything. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICAELA!
