she's perfect


skylee and her "people"
L to R- Viola from the chirp clinic, they do studies on gastroschesis. Rosemarie, skylee's nutritionist, and holding skylee is Dr. Brindle...skylee's surgeon.


on friday the 20th, skylee had her 1 year appointment in calgary with her "people" since last summer when she came home i've been back 4 times and everytime they tell me the same thing....she's perfect. she has a little hernia in her belly button but nothing they are concerned about. she has been their star baby! when i think and hear about all the struggles and hard times that she could have gone through, i am just so thankful for the preisthood because i truly believe that the blessing her daddy gave her the night she was born has guided her to being the perfect healthy baby she is. i can't say it enough she is just the best baby....we drove to calgary and she didn't make a peep besides "singing" and talking to us...no whinning or crying. then after her appointment we did some serious shopping and we never heard a peep out of her. she's perfect!

her "people" told us that we can treat her like any other toddler (we have been anyway) but before we had to watch what she eats and have special formula....well now she can switch to homo.
we only have to come back once a year for a checkup...and i'm not sure for how many years...hmm.

(where she was a year ago)

(her belly button now)

after we were done at the children's hospital we headed over to the ronald mcdonald house to say hi and get some pictures....i really love that place and still to this day i miss it. it's a great organization!!
