Before and after of Aimee’s spine. We will get a better comparison after she is more healed, but this gives a good idea of the change. Her surgeon was disappointed to not have better results and to find her case more difficult than anticipated. There was definitely some discouraging news from the surgery itself, but we are excited to see Aimee have this progress.
One of the hardest parts is bringing her in when we know the pain she will have to endure.
Carrying her through the chaos.
Holding my flexible girl for the last time.
Finally making it into Aimee’s ICU room.
First glimpses of her eyes during her blood transfusion.
Leaving the ICU.
Transport through the hospital was dramatic, but only because Ed and I got trapped by in an employee only elevator. :)
Our stuffed shared room.
Beat up and exhuasted. Her body had cuts, bruises, blisters, sores, and lots of swelling all over.
Documenting baby boy at 38 weeks +1 at Aimee’s bedside.
Creatively using the limited available hospital equipment options.
View from the bench where we slept.
Making the big wheelchair adjustments.

Working on sitting up again.
A little uncertain about being out of bed.
Packing her up to make an escape.
Thankful to be bringing her home.
