Izabella

Izabella turned One on September 12, 2008. I can't believe it has been a year since I had her. She is the best thing in the world. She loves books, dogs, fish and just being alive. She is my little miracle. If you didn't know she was born with Pulmonary Stenosis, this is a heart defect that requires surgery. She was born on Septmeber 12, 2007 with flared nostrils and very pale skin and the doctor thought something was wrong. They listened to her heart and noticed a very strong murmur. They brought in the Pediatrician and had him listen and they were very worried. I was in no shape to know what was going on because I had a 105 temp and just had an emergency C-section. They put me in a room and then Clint came in to see how I was doing and told me what was going on. They put her in an incubator and then the Pediatrician came in to inform us that she needed to be rushed to a hospital that could do surgery on her. They took her to Primary Childrens and about 5-6 hours later they did heart surgery. This was the hardest thing Clint and I had ever gone through besides me losing my dad to cancer four years earlier. She was supposed to be in the hospital for 3-4 months atleast and since we have such a great deal of faith she was released 7 days after having heart surgery. She is a strong and wonderful little human, nothing in this world could ever replace her.....

One year later she is still as strong willed and stubborn as ever. There is nothing that could make me prouder to be a parent as I am right now!
