We took Haley to see the surgeons regarding internalizing her externalized shunt.  However, we found out that something else should be addressed first.  Haley has some cysts at the top of her brain stem that the dr.'s believe could be interfering with her progress.  So, it looks like she will need to have brain surgery first & then internalization of the shunt.  We have a pre-surgical meeting the beginning of this week & believe the surgery will be within the next 2 weeks.  I will post the actual day when we find out.  Please, keep her in your prayers!

   The dance school Haley attended prior to her accident had their recital last night & I took Haley.  She looked so beautiful & I was so proud of her because she walked into the show & walked out (with assistance).  Her best friend, Abby, was with her & I was so grateful for that.  Haley really enjoyed the show & later told me, "Mommy, there's one thing I'm mad about.  That I wasn't up on stage for the recital."  I told her, " I know my love, but you will be!  Your just getting better right now."

   I showed Haley her completed website today.  When I read the "All About Haley" page to her, she started to cry.  She then looked up at me & said, "Mommy, you've made me so happy."  I am so blessed!
