Initially, they did not think they would do surgery in the future. They thought "what is the point?" But as their daughter reached the point of no-return for the heart surgery, they reflected on what she meant to them and what she had taught them. It was a beautiful and honest reflection. <br /><br />They had the surgery. The clip at the end of my Annie's video is the little girl, two weeks post cardiac surgery at Boston Children's. She and her family are playing in the fall leaves and all you can hear is laughter. <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6dnyc-ya6E<br /><br />Sometimes too much comfort is not a good thing, is it? <br /><br />Barb<br /><br />Annie's momAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-3240860004320235992009-11-22T22:25:01.387-06:002009-11-22T22:25:01.387-06:00Hey Cathy

This life doesn't always make following God's purpose easy!<br />I am back and better, I see hope again and needed to stop and catch up on sweet Annabel. I saw that Annabel's nanny is inducing lactation. I did this when our surrogate Elizabeth was pregnant with our Miracle girl. If you need any ideas or adivise PLEASE just ask. It is such a valuable thing and very selfless of her to do. <br /><br />My tricks....... <br />hospital grade pump (much better than the Medela I had. I got a symphony from the hospital)<br />Dom Peridone (doubled my supply)<br />Lots of pumping round the clock<br />A pumping bra so I could be hands free to read, or do other tasks. One time I pumped while I drove ... ha ha don't tell anyone!!<br /><br />Anyway, if you need any info I would be happy to share. In 2 months of pumping I had over 200 oz in the freezerPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027920490798367239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-67415227337685195282009-11-22T21:01:55.424-06:002009-11-22T21:01:55.424-06:00Your unconditional love for Annabel has always bee...Your unconditional love for Annabel has always been an inspiration for me.
