and then it’s just over

A large, odd looking man with a higher-than-expected voice came out with a blanket and swept her out of my arms and down a hallway that I am not allowed to follow….

4.5 hours later I saw her again. Alive. A new head. My precious Poppy girl.

I will write more in depth about the feelings, the sights, sounds, and fears from 11am on July 11 until now.

Poppy is amazing. Her strength defies all odds and encourages me to dig a little deeper myself. I am in awe of her resilience. Her sweet, fiery spirit really carries us all on…

So happy that this surgery is over – and to see a photo of Poppy holding the cross and beads and looking at it. She is developing well as she is fighting this uphill battle.

I am glad this part of the journey is over, so you can see her strength once again…so you can something to hold on to for the next battle…She is so loved and knows it, so she holds on. Keep up your strength mentally and physically any way you can for her and Kieren, you are with out a doubt one strong family.
