Snow Days

Not much to report other then that Lils will have her first biopsy on march 16. Depending on the results of that she will either stay for the night at the hospital or go home the very same day. Other than that, Lillian got to play in the snow for the first time last week in Seattle's once-per-year snowfall. She had seen snow previously, but only from the window of a hospital room at Children's.

Christmas 2011

This is late, but the girls had a Christmas to remember, visiting with family, having way too many sweets and finally ending with a magic show, courtesy of Joel. We went a little overboard as it was Lillian’s first Christmas home and Ailah’s first Christmas, but the girls had an awesome time, and so did we as a result.

Christmas Eve was Lillian’s 9 month anniversary of transplant. It was very emotional for us as a family. We are so every thankful to our donor family, words cannot express… All Christmas Eve I thought of them and prayed for them. 

 

 I know we posted Lillian's video some time ago, but we finally wrote to our donor family last month telling them about Lillian. We settled on a short letter as the longer drafts just didn't feel right. Hopefully someday we will know who our donor angel was.
