Memory Lane

At a time like this I constantly find myself going down "memory lane."  Today is the day Ava is scheduled to have a bronchoscopy and possible decanulation at Children's Mercy.  Our check in time is noon and the actual procedure will most likely happen around 1:30 or 2:00pm.  We are comfortable with whatever plan God has and know that if Ava is experiencing her last hours with a trach it will truly be one of those special landmarks on memory lane. 

Enjoy a few of the other special landmarks on my "memory lane" below and I will keep you all posted on how today goes as soon as possible.

December 20, 2010...Ava and Reese come into this world.

June 28, 2011...Ava comes home after spending 3 months at Overland Park Regional and 3 months at Children's Mercy.

Since this blog begins when both girls are officially out of the NICU I will let you browse the blog for other landmark events.  One thing I always want to remember is to cherish all the small things in life as well as the big.
