My heart's been fixed one year!

It's a big day for me!! One year ago I had my heart fixed! Can you believe it??!?! It was a scary day for some of us, but it was a happy day for Mommy and Daddy because they knew I was gonna be all better soon.

Here's what I looked like right after surgery. DON'T BE SCARED! It might be icky, but I think it just shows how far I've come!! Mommy and Daddy really like this picture because they were so glad to see me all fixed that they weren't even afraid of all the tubes and wires. Now, Grandma C, on the other hand, she didn't like them so much...


But look at me now!!! Happy as a little clam with all kinds of silly energy!

Here are the posts from my hospital stay, in case you want to see how good I did and how fast I got better.

  1. I did have tons of trouble. In fact just seeing this picture brings tears to the eyes, but you look so good now. So I am glad too, but back then I was a big puddle of goo.

  2. That was a very difficult picture for me to see before Georgia's surgery, but when they wheeled her out of surgery I was so thankful for haivng seen it because I was prepared. In fact, by the time surgery was done, it didn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would because I was just so glad we were on the other side! :O) So joyous! It's been a year, Braska! A wonderful year!

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
