Chloe had a fever this week, which she caught from her sister.  Today she felt great, and we walked down to town for breakfast.  She is still having trouble sleeping comfortably, due to the knobs behind her ears.  She went to her good friend Bre's birthday and had a great time.  She loves being with her friends.

Thank you to all of my amazing friends for the generous gift - sending Chloe to the Taylor Swift concert.  She is beyond excited and looking forward to August.  Thank you Katie, Kelli, Lisa, Silvia, Ani, Jill, Sue, Rochelle, Kristen, and all of your families.  Our family is so extremely lucky to have such great, kind, and generous people in our lives.  We can't convey how much we appreciate your kindness.

Lisa, Tara, and Stephanie, Chloe loves her adorable dance bag.  She feels so special to have such a beautiful and girlie bag.  Thanks for spoiling her.  She can't wait to take it to dance on Monday.

Well, I have a lot of corrections to make.  I made a huge mistake on some dates.  The doctor told us we need to wait 3 months from the last day Chloe's screws were turned.  We thought it was two months, so her surgery will now be on Wednesday, March 9 -Ash Wednesday.  We also changed our minds about Chloe going back to school in two weeks.  She won't be going back for about 2 and a half months.  We decided it  
would be a better idea to wait.  She still has open wounds, needs to be careful with eating, takes 4 antibiotics a day, and is at risk being around such big groups of kids.  We're afraid she'll be bumped.  We want to be cautious because of all that she has been through.

Thank you Bonnie and Encore Dance for the beautiful poster, gift card, tank top, and hat.  Chloe loves all of it.  Thank you for making her feel so loved.  The news of her postponed surgery wasn't as hard to take because of your generous gift and going back to dance.  Thanks, again.

Chloe had her doctor's appointment yesterday.  Yippikayeah- it went great!  Chloe can brush her teeth again.  She is right on track with how she looks.  We are trying to book her surgery for Thursday, February 10.  She will have the plates removed and some eye work done possibly.  She was given the green light to go back to dance, and we are trying to talk her to go back to school in two weeks.  Her jaw looks fabulous, and therefore, hopefully she won't have jaw surgery.  If that is the case the next step will be orthodontic work  for her mouth. 

Life is good - she is pain free and happy.
