My Lauren: May 2012
http://mylauren-acmcginnis.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 21, 2012. My biggest fear is that when I'm down or having an off day emotionally, I may come across as being too negative. I understand that hings could be worse; in fact, this thought gets me through so much. Lauren is amazing, and I wouldn't trade her for any perfectly healthy, physically abled child on the planet. So, please understand that I know what a blessing and miracle my daughter is. Normal. She won't know a life without these challenges or differences. Is this good or bad? If you w...

My Lauren: Surgery Update
http://mylauren-acmcginnis.blogspot.com/2012/02/surgery-update.html
Monday, February 13, 2012. Lauren went into surgery at 7:20 this morning and came out at 11:45. She is responding really well! Hasn't cried one time and does not appear to be in any pain from her feet. Which is a good and bad thing. I don't want her to be in pain, but if she was it means that she could feel her feet. I suspected that she wouldn't be able to feel, but I was hoping:). Her casts before the sisters get a hold of a marker and finger nail polish;). You know, right now her defects aren't presen...

Wednesday, May 25, 2011. There's no place like home. Monday night at 10:00 pm my over the moon daughters welcomed their baby sister. We feel so incredibly blessed and lucky. I'll post pictures soon.

But, wanted to extend our appreciation and gratitude for all those that prayed and were with us throughout this journey. Love to all! Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Tuesday, May 17, 2011.

My Lauren: March 2012
http://mylauren-acmcginnis.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Close, but no. We were so very close to getting to come home cast free, but in the end the surgeon felt that Lauren needed another 4 weeks in casts. I was obviously disappointed she'd have to be put back in, but was completely OK and trusted his decision. It's really for her benefit and is best for the long term. Anyway, here is a video of her day at doctor getting her feet checked out. Things I can do. Monday, March 12, 2012. She began the morning with an ultrasound on her rep...

My Lauren: Clinic
http://mylauren-acmcginnis.blogspot.com/2012/03/clinic.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. Lauren attended spina bifida clinic in Nashville today. Overall, we received a good report and some interesting tidbits. She began the morning with an ultrasound on her reproductive organs.which we received results when we met with uro later that day. Remember when I mentioned that Lauren has 2 vaginas? Well, it appears she has a double reproductive system, which means she has two uteri (uterus). Anyway, all went well. I got some very helpful information and felt at ease with ...

My Lauren: March 2011
http://mylauren-acmcginnis.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Neuro came by and took additional samples, said that they were ready to move forward with shunt revision surgery tomorrow around noon. This is excellent news and keeps us moving forward. The recovery from shunt surgery typically isn't difficult, so the weekend will be plenty of time to heal up. Lauren will have a VUCG Monday:. Lauren had her Wednesday fix of grandma and Adrianna. They even got to help out during her cares, feeding and burping her and being my assistant:). Lauren...
