I love my baby minnie mouse!

My beautiful Aunt Kaylin went to Disney World in Florida and brought me back my adorable baby minnie mouse. Thanks so much!

My cousin, Mikayla!

She is soooo sweet! She loves to hold me, kiss me and play with me.
I wish I could play with her all the time.

My Great uncle Tom and great anunt Brigid

Great uncle Tom came and visited me from Buffalo. I enjoyed talking with him. My great aunt Brigid has an angelic voice. I love to hear her singing.

My Simutis Cousins

I met my daddy's cousins, Kate & Frank, and their kids - Great Aunt Joyce's grandchildren - Frank, Andrew, Michael. I miss them already. I hope I can see them again. Thank you for holding me!

All my friends, stuffed animals!

I finally had a chance to see my daddy's window office. You can see a nice view of Albany. I like it a lot because it is very green. I helped him to draft some contracts. He put my pictures in the wall, because he misses me so much all day long.

April 30, 2007 Surgery

Before leaving the hospital, they put fashionable fiberglass coverings on my casts to protect them. My mom told me how strong and how amazing I was during and after surgery. My dada said I didn't need to take any pain medication the day after surgery. Now I just have a little difficult swallowing problem. Thank you for praying for me. Please keep praying for my recovery. God bless you all and love you.

I finally went back to my room. My feet were swollen, so I had ice packs on them.

I finally woke up from the anesthesia and saw my mama and dada. I was glad my nightmare was over.

In the recovery room, the nurse took such great care of me. Thank you so much again!

During several hours of surgery, the doctors cut my heel cords (achilles tendons) in both of my legs and corrected and pinned both my talus bones, which were turned the wrong way. Now I am wearing casts.

Here I am before surgery in my special puppy dog outfit at Shriner's Children's Hospital in Springfield, Mass.
