Genevieve experienced her first BIG procedure since her TOF repair just over 6 years ago.  She [and Mom] did just fine. All reports were outstanding - - she is ready for first grade. 

SIX

Genevieve is six years old now.

In kindergarten, playing sports, dancing, riding horses, skating and giving her mom fits from time to time.

She was recently diagnosed with yet another challenge or gift, depending on the mind-set.

She tested in the 99% on IQ assessments. She has the potential to realize all the blessings and barriers that come with a 162 score.

Genevieve has been gifted once again. She is indeed marked as God's.

Five

While it is never far from thought, the medical condition Genevieve [and her mom] live with everyday, the good times are that much richer because the journey has changed the way we place one foot in front of the other -- every day.

Genevieve was recently a flower girl in a family wedding...big days follow big days. She registered for Kindergarten yesterday too...buckle in.

Can't resist an updated photo!

27 Days Post OP

And doing just fine! Amazing isn't it?

Three Weeks Post Op

Tonight's celebration included Hillary's Birthday. Fun!

Reading a Max the Bunny book pre dinner festivities. 5 months old and enjoying the pleasure of a great book! !

Ornate ribbon...yummy.

Cake, Aunt Meredith, Hillary and Grandpa Buddy.

Whew 23 candles make a lot of smoke!

My Mom is smiling...

Genevieve is doing well at 3 weeks post op. Still some rough spots each day but the bright spots are getting brighter. She has not resumed pulling up with her arms, her chest is still sore...she has resumed most other physical movements. She is going longer without pain relievers, down to twice a day. She is enjoying her days more...the prognosis continues to be very good.

If anyone had told us we would be this far along 3 weeks ago, we would have paid a king's ransom to believe what they were saying...well a ransom was paid...and God's grace shines in Genevieve.

The Best Start to Each Day

A stroller, no socks, a hat, sunscreen, a golden retriever named Huck and sunshine. Genevieve celebrated her 5 month birthday this week; highlighted by a visit from her Grandfather who lives in Mississippi.
