Bella’s Week

Bella had pre-op downtown for her knee surgery that’s coming up.  So exciting that we are starting down the road that may ultimately lead to walking!    She loves to dress up!

Love this!  A blanket from her Grandmas!!  Grannie Annie, Bella’s biological Grandmother sent the fabric and Grandma Ball finished it for her!!  She sleeps on the pillow Grandma Turpin made her.  She is surrounded by Grandmotherly love!

So proud of my girl!  We went to a viewing at a funeral home.  Unfortunately there were a lot of smokers there.  The funeral director cleared out the entrance.  We waited a bit for the smoke to clear and then brought Bella in.  There was a little of that residual smoke odor that clings to people.  We kept her away from everyone.  But she did it!  A year ago she was on oxygen with that amount of residual smoke.  She is doing so much better!  She did fine.  She didn’t desat.  Way to go my miracle girl!   (that’s a pink wafer cookie in her hand.  She alternated between sucking on it and using it like a phone)                                 Afterwards, playing with her cousin.

Thanks again for coming to grandma's viewing. I am glad Bella was able to stay healthy and strong, even around smoke. She amazes me!
