4/1/09 - 9 Months in Review

Before I take you on a journey of the past 9 months, I wanted to tell you how Kayleigh is doing today. If you didn't follow my tweets on Twitter or Facebook the other day, Kayleigh's surgery was cancelled by a last minute belly issue. Her tummy blew up and she was having some serious diarrhea.

Right now, Kayleigh's belly has reduced in size and it is soft. She had a great day today. The doctors are not sure when the surgery will be rescheduled. We have to coordinate between two surgeons as they are doing both the PEG placement and the bilateral hernia repair. They will be doing a biopsy of her intestines at that point too to determine what is going on with Kayleigh's belly problem.

Okay, one of Kayleigh's prayer warriors posted a comment yesterday to post some photos of Kayleigh from each month over the past nine months. So, I thought it would be a good idea to do just that.

I hope you enjoy :)


Weighing only 13 ounces, Kayleigh was less than a week old.


Measuring only 11 inches in her first month of life.


Still a peanut at 2 months old with our favorite outfit on.


3 months and around 2 pounds - 4 ounces


One of my all-time favorite photos at 4 months old.


Night before open heart surgery at 5 months and just over 3 pounds.


An astonishing and quick recovery from heart surgery, but would
soon battle a tough 6th month as she faces death, but lives.


An exciting new year to celebrate in the 7th month.


Kayleigh can breathe better at 8 months with her new trach


Kayleigh's hopes to go home in her 9th month.

If you haven't seen the video, click here "Kayleigh's Video" and you will see the full story with tons of photos. I am actually working on a new video with my photographer who shot at our wedding. It is going to be awesome and I can't wait to share it with you all in the near future. It will include photos of when Kayleigh comes home, so it will have that perfect ending this time.

Thank you all for sharing in this journey with us and thank you so much for all of your prayers.

God Bless,
