August 16th she had another surgery on her vocal chord to connect the left vocal chord to a new nerve to get it working again. The surgery was successful and she bounced back quickly.
August 20th she turned 15!
August 22nd she started school. We are so proud of her! Even though it is very tiring she keeps going.
August 24th we checked out the NF walk in Salt Lake. We had a lot of fun and will be inviting everyone to join us next year!
Two weeks ago Ricki began having some severe stomach and back pains and then last week she began having ear aches. We have been to the ER and Insta-Care with no solutions for her pain. She is such a trooper through it all.
We are currently waiting on our ENT surgeon and neurosurgeon on when Ricki's next surgery will be.
Thank you for all of your prayers in Ricki's behalf. I have seen your prayers answered at different times when I have seen a peace and a calm come over her, when the doctors or nurses are inspired to know what Ricki needs, when someone calls and visits and brightens her day, and especially when she has the energy to keep going. As a mother it is difficult not being able to " make everything better." We are all learning to go forward with faith and enjoy all the miracles in our life that happen everyday. They are evidence of God's love for each of us.
Sorry if i seem nosy, but my son has NF. I live in your stake. You don't know me. I just know who your boys are. I have not meet another person who knows about NF. It's great that you went to the walk-i haven't gone yet because of different reasons. i just want to say thanks!
