Cheesta getting ready to head to the operating room for a tracheotomy....
...soon we will be able to see her beautiful face again & she will be rid of the misery of the tubes she hates so much.
And surrounded by her new Amou (uncles) and Khalehs (aunties)....her new FCI family, who love her unconditionally....and shower her not only with dolls and stuffed animals which she clutches to her chest...but endless attention, caring and love.


Just two of a dozen amazing nurses taking care of our precious little girl....24/7....in her room... one-on-one... Mom thinks she is so lucky to have such great care for her one & only daughter. We couldn't agree more. 3 cheers for the PICU team @ Gillette Children's Speciality Hospital.



Do you know I have tubes in & out of every orifice....I guess you may have figured that out....but do you know they have attached 6 pounds of weight to my head! And they plan to increase it to 20 pounds....vay...vay...vay...akh....akh! Good thing I don't speak English so I don't really know what is coming....but anyway I don't complain...sometimes I pray and sometimes I just cry quietly.
