December 8

Chloe's having more happy, everyday moments, rather than painful sad ones.  Today was very busy.  We did homework this morning, and then took off to Children's Hospital.  Then, we went grocery shopping finding things we could mash up for her. 

We also finally got to meet Diane.  Her daughter is having a similar surgery soon.  She was relieved to see how great Chloe looked.  She brought pictures of her 4 beautiful daughters.  It's so strange to meet someone who lives so close, that has lived somewhat of a similar life.  Thank you Carmenate Family for the fun game.  The girls love it.

Chloe and I rushed home to feed her and finish her homework.  Bre and Emma came by to hang out.  Chloe loved it and adores the bracelet and slippers.  Emma, you are the best.  Cath, you are spoiling us.  The whole Greep Family has happy, big bellies.  You are the best cook ever.  The Trader Joe's goodies will come in handy, too. 

Chloe's teacher came over and is wonderful.  She loves the busy work.  She is also opening her eyes more today.  She told me things are not as blurry as they were before.  Yeah - progress.

All of your prayers have really started kicking in.  Chloe is happy.  The doctor has finished moving her bones forward with the tool.  Now, we have to wait for the bones to grow together and solidify.  This will take approximately 2 months.  Hopefully in the meantime, Chloe will have less pain, become more comfortable, less swollen, and less sensitive to touch.

Thank you for your text messages, thoughts, prayers, emails, and phone messages.  We truly feel protected and surrounded by your love.
