Pre-Surgery Update:

I posted some of the things Mackenzie has been up to in the last year. We are grateful for her strong recovery and unsinkable spirit (she was Molly Brown for a school report this year too)! We spent this spring break traveling to Santa Fe to visit Grandma and Grandpa and then down to Phoenix to enjoy some sun and fun and visited with mom's friend from high school.

Mackenzie made such a phenomenal recovery but was left with some anomalies we have to deal with now. On Thursday, she will be in surgery this time to help correct her left ankle which at some point during her April 2009 hospital stay developed a contracture that could not be worked out through Physical Therapy. She has a very beautiful toe point. Great, if you're a ballerina, not so great if you plan on keeping shoes on your feet! Thank goodness high-tops are still in style since they lace above the ankle, they stay on!

I will post updates here during her stay at Pres./St. Lukes as it seems the most convenient way to disperse information to everyone at once.

I am so blessed to receive that beautiful smile from her everyday when she has every right to be the most miserable child on earth! Enjoy the photos below.
