As our family, friends, and a few close clients know we have been struggling for the past 3 years over the thought that our baby girl (now 5) eventually would have to under go a very evasive surgery. It brings tears to my eyes to think how much this has weighed on us all! But as a mommy you know that we just moved forward with what we needed to do and everyone made plans and adjustments to help care for her.
If anyone can learn from our experience I would say ALWAYS get a second opinion, no matter the reputation the doctor has or the faith you have in them. And ALWAYS trust your gut! That all I can attribute this to is knowing in my gut something was not right, enough to at least get the second opinion.
Yesterday we traveled down to DMC (childrens hospital) for our appointment with another specialist for the second opinion. The amazing news is there will be NO surgery! At best we hoped for a way around the intensity of the surgery we knew (as we have been told) would be coming. Not one of us expected to be blessed with the news we heard.
As I stated on the Amber Lights blog after my visit to the hospital in May, I said I will go forward a little more thankful, for this blessing I am extremely more thankful. I just wanted to update everyone. I will be leaving early today to go be with my girlies! I feel like celebrating with my family. Thank you to all of you for your prayers!
