Surgery will be first thing in the morning tomorrow to repair the spinal fluid leak coming from Bailynn’s back. I will let everyone know how it goes after the procedure. We should be able to come home afterwards, but we are prepared to stay the night if not. She threw in her little bit of… Read More
I dream of sleeping. I dream of laying on the ground hoping for sleep. I dream about how incredibly tired I am and I have not had massive surgery, so what does Bailynn dream about?

Bob and I successfully removed Bailynn humongous bandage from her back today and with no tears shed! Really, it was from her hairline to her booty crack! Ridiculously huge! She did fabulously!

It’s Monday and we are now at 18 days in the bed. Her back does look better. The bit of flesh that seemed to be hanging out of the gapping hole in her back has went back inside. The skin looks like it could seal back closed, if it would stop leaking and now bleeding.… Read More
