*Post Edit~7 of 8 did fine today, came out of anesthesia well. We'll know in a few days the effect the Botox is having on her arm. Thanks for your prayers and good wishes~*
Literally.
7 of 8 is just about to receive therapeutic Botox injections to her left arm to help treat some of the muscle rigidity she experiences as a result of the ischemic stroke she had pre-birth.
I've been keeping her occupied here at the children surgery center by taking our pictures on my computer.
If you have a moment, we'd love a little good wishes and prayers sent our way. 7 of 8 will need to be under general anesthetic for the procedure. We're hopeful that in a few days, the Botox will allow some of the muscles that hold her arm at an odd angle and crimp some of her fingers to release and relax, allowing other muscles to strengthen.
It's something of a dance.
But for now, we're playing in the prep room, making silly faces on the computer, sporting purple hospital jammies.

Praying!
And...you'll never ever believe this. But I had a dream that you and your family went on a long road trip to Alaska and I went with you. And my mom had to mail me my passport overnight so I could get back into the US.
This is what happens when I read blogs before bed. I dream about whoever's (whomever's?) blog I last read...
Ahhhh Good luck today! I am definitely praying for you guys!

Sending warm and fuzy thoughts your way! Luck!
Praying that it goes very well and all is successful. She is such a cutie!
Nice PJ's! It's great to see 7 of 8 going from strength to strength. I'm sure she'll cruise through the procedure!
Good luck, little girl! You are a beautiful gift!
