I smile at the timing. i am sorry for the steps that lie ahead and will keep you guys in my prayers!<BR/><BR/>I hate that I am a few days late in reading this, but I will be praying a ton!<BR/><BR/>I know this sounds evil, but I keep thinking of the little boy in "So I married an axe murderer" and how the dad shouts "Heed, move" and says all sorts of lines about his son's big noggin ("it's like an orange on a toothpick" is one of my faves!). Maybe me thinking of that will make you smile? You are one of the few friends who might smile at that with me. :)<BR/>I love that you have some answers. I had an experience like that with my Logan when she was very little, and the "Ah ha, so that is why she cries all the time" was really, really sweet.<BR/><BR/>Hugs!Ali https://www.blogger.com/profile/09903537076363946309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462728671028708590.post-3028503675834452252008-11-01T07:56:00.000-05:002008-11-01T07:56:00.000-05:00Oh Heather.

How fantastic that the timing worked out so well and that you now know what's going on. <BR/><BR/>I know how hard it is to watch your kiddo go in for surgery, so if you need someone to talk to, drop me an email anytime. Kids are amazingly resilient and strong (more than us sometimes - I'm convinced), and Asher's got spunk on his side. <BR/><BR/>Keep us all posted.

She was the most intelligent, perfect little girl and after she had the shunt put in, it didn't affect anything she did except that she had a few extra doctors appointments to check on it to make sure it was all ok. I will think good thoughts for your family, and am so happy this was figured out before it caused permanent damage! I know I don't know you in real life, but I am serious when I say this...if there is anything I can do, please let me know!

And how people like you suddenly gather up all their courage and faith and face it with grace and hope. Like many others have expressed, I know you are not alone in this challenge; God will be watching over you and Asher throughout the whole ordeal and many friends (real and the cyber-type) will be praying for you. If you're not too afraid of me (or my cooking, I guess), I'd love to drop off a meal for you that you can keep in the freezer and use on a hard day.
