At Last!!!

So, due to technical difficulties, (i forgot my password)  I am incredibly behind in posting.  It has been brought to my attention twice this week that I had not posted....so, without further ado, I don't want to dissapoint my "followers" (all 3 of you)

I guess for this post I need to start with the one I wanted to write the day of the circus, but thought 1 blog a day was enough.  So, here goes!

         As I stood in reverence and respect while all the Shriners entered the building, I couldnt help but tear up.  I looked around at the hundreds of people sitting with this bored expression across their face and all I could think was they had no clue.  To them, it was the boring opening act, to us, it was the entrance of life changers, our lives!  I leaned over and said that exact thing to my husband, and noticed the tears form in his eyes.  Maybe I should back up a few years, and share the entire story with you, just in case...Our oldest daughter was born almost 12 years ago, with a cleft lip and palate.  These men changed our lives!  From the very begining, I heard about the Shriners, but all I could say was that I didnt want "charity", I wanted the BEST!  Little did I know then, that they are the BEST!  Her surgeon has been doing these surgeries for almost 30 years, and they have patented many procedures that are used all across the nation.
The Doctors here immediately wanted to start operating, Shriners wanted to wait.  Every visit we get to see the handy work of Drs who want to start too soon, and do too many, because now they are there with us, trying to get the BEST to fix the other's mistakes!

Here we are, 12 years later, and she looks wonderful!  Many people dont even know she's ever had a problem.  She's a trooper, she has 3 more surgeries ahead of her, then this will all be behind her!  She wants to be a Speech Path, to help other children just like her.  She was so blessed, that her speech was barely affected, but many others are not as fortunate.

I will continue to share more with you at later times the things we have experienced during this time in our life.
Goodnight all, and may all your days, be circus days!
