1 year Anniversary of Diagnosis



Rylee March 2011


So today makes one year that we were in Children's getting the news of Rylee's diagnosis'. It has been a very hard, long and stressful year with highs, lows, positives, negatives, smiles, tears, hugs and triumph. She will have her 8th scope on Thursday, March 22 and hopefully the surgeon will talk to us about surgery. I never thought I would ever say that. Danny, Rylee and I are ready to get back to normal. I think we have somewhat forgotten what normal is at this point. I am so proud of her for all she has endured and all that she is still enduring. It is hard to go from being an active child who loves to run and play to a child whose steps are closely watched and monitored. She has not run, played, jumped, kicked a ball with friends in over a year. Though I am scared of the surgery options and the surgery, I have to have faith and believe that God will give me strength. In this year we have learned to not take things for granted, to trust, open our hearts and to not judge anyone. On top of the medical issues we lost our Rocky dog, my MeMe and my Maw Maw all within months of each other. A lot of sadness and heartache, but much needed time close with our Durbin and Collins families, who are a true blessing. God gave me this large crazy, fun loving family for a reason. On the positive, we have a new baby and two weddings to look forward too. Rylee's Uncle Chris and Aunt Amy will give her a beautiful baby girl cousin named Lily and she will be flower girl in her Aunt Ashley's wedding. I truly believe my grandmother's had a pow wow with God when they arrived!

So we will enter the hospital on Thursday anxious, nervous, scared but thankful for the continuous prayers and outpouring of love you have all given us. Please pray for us and especially Rylee.

Love Brandi
