Head to Toe



In the last week we've learned that Annabelle has to have two more major surgeries. One to correct the position of her feet is scheduled for March 24th, and a "shunt revision" ( my mommy ears only hear BRAIN SURGERY ) will be scheduled for some time next week. The 2nd one was just discovered today. There is a malfunction in the shunt in Annie's head. It is not draining properly. We Lindens have had better and worse days. Pretty tough, and yet we know we can get through it. Your prayers are appreciated to just get us through the next week. We are hoping to not have to make any trips to the emergency room between now and then with symptoms we've been told to look out for, and laying awake and becoming sleep deprived won't help us help her. Avoiding the above mentioned and soaking up her sweetness are the goals for now.
