other birthdays...

hours old... let the big bows begin...

1st birthday. big needle in the belly procedure with conscious sedation. she was tripping, see video below for a good (but sad) laugh. that's a contradiction.

lunch of champions @ the hospital-- milk a-la-tube and cheetos

checking out her sweet heart, to be sure she'd be okay for transplant among other things


she wouldn't eat her breakfast birthday cookie. before i had kids i decided we'd always do cupcakes, ice cream or something sweet for (and or with) their breakfast. this year i think all she had was sugar on her birthday.

i was so broken hearted this first birthday of lulu's, or just broken is also a good way to describe how i felt at the time. i thank god for the difference a year made for me as well.


the better part of the night HERE

I am so glad London is home and healthy for the holidays this year! I remember last year and how miserable both she and you were. I'm glad you get to spend it as a family (knock-on-wood). She sure is and was a super cute little girl. Even when she was feeling her worst she always managed a little smile!

Just found your blog. What a sweet story. I'm 23 and got my liver 9/1/10. Before they gave it to me, they took part of it and gave it to a 3 month old. I'm so honored and humbled by that. I'm so glad to hear London is doing well - almost 1 year! How exciting!! Please feel free to stop by my transplant journey, http://amandasjourney.tumblr.com PS - I LOVE Lulu's bows!! :)

Hoping for a great 2011 for all of my fellow liver transplant friends. :)
