As Halloween is fast approaching, I decided that today, would be a perfect day to try on Keely's First Halloween costume. Although last year was her first Halloween, she was unable to go out due to the serious medical issues she was battling. I thank God that she is healthy at the moment. Hoping that she is going to prove medical history wrong and stay that way. She is already against the odds. Anyways, back to the costume.....I decided on a Duck for this years costume. When I seen it, I immediately fell in love with it. For one, yellow always tends to look nice on Keely. And two, its just too cute. We are still unsure of rather or not we are going to take her out on Halloween night. She really does not need to be in the cold night air. We will see!
On another note, we ask that all of you keep Keely in your prayers while we travel to Charleston Monday for doctor appointments and Tuesday morning when she has surgery. She will be having her broviac (IV access) in her chest removed, along with a Lacrimal Duct Probing. (to unclog her tear ducts) We are scheduled for outpatient surgery so lets hope that she does well with these 2 minor procedures which shouldn't take but 30 minutes start to finish for both. If so, then we will be home tuesday night. I will update as soon as we get home. I hope that everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. Take Care! With Love!

Praying for Stellan!!!!

A Very Eventful Day!!!

Today was a rather eventful day for "little Miss Keely". She started the day out by going to the Pulmonologist at Richland to get her RSV shot that she will have to get for the next couple of months while the RSV season is in. After that, we took her to the Fair for the very first time. Eventhough, she could not get on any of the rides, she had a great time riding in her stroller taking in all of the excitement. I will not leave out the one thing that she got to do. She got to pet the tame rabbit at the Magic Farm Show. We are beginning to see that she is going to be an animal lover. Anyways, after a couple hours at the fair, we left to return home but we had one last stop to make. Might I add, that Keely's day was filled with ALOT of firsts, because she got to go grocery shopping for the first time today. When we got home, she was so pooped that she crashed at 7 pm and slept for the night. She was worn out from all the moving around we had to do, but she was a GREAT trooper. I have to say myself, that I am so proud that she got to experience the fair eventhough she didn't really know what was going on.

I know that its been a while since I last posted, but I seem to get caught in the daily grind of things around here. Although, I still find time to Facebook. LOL! Anyways, my little angel is 19 months old now and still just a growing. Not only is she growing in weight and length (26lbs 11oz and 29 1/4 inches) she is growing with learning new skills. I am the pround mama of a "New Sitter". Finally!!!!! She is still a little wobbly, but that is wearing off rather quickly. Also, she is getting sillier and sillier by the day. It still amazes me how happy she is with ALL that she has been through. I can't wait to wake up in the mornings to see her smiling face. I wanted to share this picture with ya'll because it is one of my most recent favorites. This picture was taken last weekend at my parent's house. We were getting her ready to ride on the golf cart which she absolutely LOVED. She spent more time outdoors this weekend than she has her entire life. I can tell that she is going to be an outside girl!!!! I can't wait until she is up and running outside playing in the dirt like most kids. Anyways, I am currently trying to peice together a Halloween costume for Keely. She didn't get to dress up her 1st Halloween, because she was in and out of the hospital, but I am going to dress her up this year and I can't wait to post pictures of her in her costume. I am so excited! Stay Tuned!!!!!
