Reflections

Today Allie and Kara are 9 months 8 days old. This was the exact age of Trevor when he had his open heart surgery. It is hard to believe he was this young when we had to hand him over. We didn't know it would be 5 days before we would see him open his eyes again or be able to hold him. Or that I would be living at Children's Hospital for 2 weeks. They thought it would be a straight forward surgery and we would be out in 4-5 days. He had other plans. If you know Trevor he never does anything by the books. He likes to do it on his terms :) Looking at Allie and Kara I just can't imagine handing them over for such a huge surgery, but somehow we did with Trevor. Maybe it is because we knew from the time he was 4 hours old that he had a heart defect and surgery would soon follow.
