Some new pics

So we haven't been keeping up near as much as we should, but we're
having a great winter...with no hospitalizations. School is going
great and the girls are loving life as usual. Nic graduated nursing
school and got a job at Children's, so we're as happy as can be. Here
are a few new pics of our winter.

Happy Halloween

So far so good

Everything went well according to the surgeon and we are safely home.  Alex had an eye muscle surgery to help straighten her eyes out and tubes put in her lower tear ducts to help them drain properly.  It's been a long day, with pain control a top priority.  Alex's eyes will be red for several weeks, however after this weekend she should be ready to return to school and work (as in therapies, appointments and her busy little life).

sisterly tug of war

Of course Ryan is very involved in Alex's care, therapies and daily life.  She's a free spirit and always testing boundaries so we have to rein her in when we are out and about
