My digits..

I loved Julia Roberts in "Erin Brokovich".. remember when the

soon to be motorcycle boyfriend is next door making all that noise, and

she goes out to give him a piece of her mind because the children

are sleeping?  He asks her for her "digits"..

She goes into this 15 min long dialogue of her 'digits'..

that includes how many times she's been married, how many kids she has,

etc. etc.

It's a very funny scene!

One that I think about.. all the time, especially this time of year..

 

 

3 years ago TODAY.. started our forever connection with Maine.

I remember it as if it was today.. I remember everything..

July 21, 2011.. it was a Thursday

we were camping at Saco Campsite in N. Conway, NH

& had just gotten back from The Blueberry Muffin from breakfast.

I hadn't been feeling well the last couple of days..

and I was soon to find out why..

Around 11:00 a.m., my water broke..it was 25weeks!

 

And sooo my experience began!

 

In two weeks, Grace & Maxwell will be 3!

We will be celebrating with our superhero, 1 lb. 13oz Miracle..

as Maxwell will be celebrating with Grandpa.

It's still a somewhat somber time for us.. the experience as a whole..

as grateful as we are for & with Grace..

we have a baby that has passed.. it's something you never let go of.

Where would he be developmentally?

What would they be doing together?

Would he have curly curly hair like Grace?

 

IT SUCKS!

 

 

 

Sorry.. I know I don't talk about it much.. just sucks thinking about

it!

 

 

On to Today.. Grace had a procedure done today at Tufts Medical Center

& it went well.. Botox to her groin area (for hips) & back of her leg (right leg)..

the botox helps to pull the tone away from her muscle

to assist with keeping her hip in the socket & more relaxed muscle

to help with walking.  We'll see in the next few months how it worked!

She did great.. was deeply sedated, but went to sleep fine

and woke up fine.

 

She's back to pinching..so I guess she did good!

 

Getting ready to celebrate her 3rd birthday & then school year will

start soon after!

 

Thanks for everyone who has read about our miracle from the beginning!

 

 

love,

pattie & gary, Grace & maxwell
