What an incision!

I have had sooooo many people ask me how Ariel's back looks, well here you go friends. It has healed beautifully and is a little less pink with each passing day. I think this will be my last update devoted completely to Ariel's surgery. I would say we have been so completely and significantly blessed this summer! All of my fears and expectations have been far and away either completely quieted or gone in such a positive direction I don't even know how to explain them any longer. Ariel has returned to just about full days this week in school. She is physically much much stronger and some of the complication that her condition was causing have been completely reversed or improved significantly. Having a child like Ariel in your home is such an indescribable experience. While on the one hand there is stress, and worry and just in general different things that have to happen for her the blessing that are literally poured out on this family are incredible. We are all such different people because of her. I am going to throw one more huge thank you out to everyone that helped us over this summer. I tried really hard to get written thank you's out to everyone and hope no one got missed but if you did, know that we are so thankful for all of the help that was offered and provided to us. I can only hope that when called apon I will be willing with a happy heart to help when needed:)
