Lola

Hey everyone just wanted to post some news about Lola. Lola is doing wonderful and continues to amaze me everyday with what she is capable of. She is going for her final laser surgery in the morning at UCSF! Nick and I couldn't be more happy that she has come so far with laser and are ready to put laser behind us. The technology now is amazing and from what I have researched laser surgery last for up to ten years. The only thing that she will need in the future is touch up laser surgery which is so intensive as they have been. UCSF is a great medical school and has amazing doctors that care for each of their patients. My pregnancy has been going very well other than some swelling in my feet and sleepless nights already. You have to wonder if it is mother nature letting you know that you probably won't sleep through the night for awhile when the new baby comes. Halloween is just around the corner and I am very excited to be able to take Lola for the first time out trick or treating. Last year Michael took her out while I was in school, and Nick was deployed. Lola often asks for Michael, Breauna, Gigi, Grandpa, Suzy and Pops. It breaks my heart each time I have to tell her that we will see them soon and I can't produce them in seconds for her. Luckily, we have web cam and I can show them her. Although, she thinks everytime I am on the phone with one of them that they can see her. Lola is such a special little girl. I know that she will go on to do great things in this world and will touch so many people along the way. Last night we took her to Petsmart to see the fish. She loves animals and Alli is her dog. She loves her doggy so much. Next time I post I will put pictures up of her laser surgery and let everyone know how things went. Also tonight we are staying at the Ronald McDonald house so we should save about $400 by being able to stay there. The city is so expensive!!!
