Best wishes and lots of Love for Lindilou's little Chicklet today.

Lindilou's daughter is in Children's Hospital for an operation on her spine.

I hope that all goes well and that healing comes quickly. All the best for brave little Chicklet and Lindi-Mom.

We appreciate all the good vibes and love streams we can get and we thank you all so much....Storm's final and third surgery will be on Monday morning. She is one powerful little lady and she has been quite lucid and coherent throughout this process which began last Monday with the discectomy of four mid-tarsal vertabrae (5 hours)...google it but I recommend the 3-d animation versus the real thing as it is rather shocking and barbaric seeming. So this was followed on Wednesday with spinal fusion but @ 8 hours in they kept losing her right leg so they had to draw back. wake her and make sure she still had the leg, which she has! So the rods have not been placed but all the other hardware is in...this is what she's waiting for and again if you google this surgery please view the 3-d animations if you are feint of heart...we love our little chick so much..it is hard to see her like this but once time has its way with her...she will stand tall at @ 3 foot 4 inches (was 3 foot)! The degree of curvature was 103 degrees on the Cobb angle...which is a severe curve..this operation will help her walk again although she will need further ops to her knees and hips...So, I thank you for the good good vibes and the love spilled toward my beautiful child..xoxox LL

As always, I send daily best wishes and thoughts of healing and all the energy Storm, Breeze and you need to help get her (and all of you) through this. There will always be the worry and the stress that you just can't help feeling but always every present is the strength to get you through it all. I've seen that strength in you and have seen you get beyond the fears and worry. Trust in yourself as much as you trust in Storm's incredible ability to shine through even the worst of times. I've said many times in e-mails to you including messages for her, she is a warrior and I add to that that you are her champion that she first got her incredible strength from and through. You taught her how to be strong and how to see the positives no matter what life gives her. You are a great mom and your kids are awesome because they took what you gave them and have used it in such positive ways. Storm is so filled with her own grand energy. She puts out so much healing energy for the people she meets in life, just her smile alone can give such warmth and feel good feelings to the person who receives it. Proof that she contains her own positive energy which keeps a body strong so it can heal itself with the help of others. She's a fighter and I admire her spirit greatly. :)

Thanks so much Colleen for your much needed support and understanding and grounding! Stormy girl is resting well now after bumping the meds and turning on more beautiful music to help soothe her...xo LL

Glad to hear that after her rough patch earlier. She and her body both need some really good sleep. I hope she gets plenty before Monday.

She's so pretty! We had an old drive in restaurant in my home town that was served rootbeer floats in big frosty mugs. Great memories.

She takes after her own mom. I think Juliet got it right when she said, "When you look at her picture, it looks like her eyes are looking right into your soul."
Oh, that sweet baby. How is she today, lindilou?

commented 10 years ago

lindilou

She has had a rough time but I think the meds r up enough now that she can rest comfortably...she is in rough shape tho' with bruises and wounds, it is pretty barbaric so do not think about it.
No-one is tougher than this little chick in my books. She has faced adversity with that smile her whole life...this little love of my life has fast become my hero this past week... shed tears only when she thought we were leaving her here alone...but we wouldn't dare! We are sleeping in her room on cots on the floor...I would sleep in mud for her! xoxoxLL

You are wonderful Lindi and the three of you are fortunate to have one another. I wish your beautiful girl a very speedy recovery so she can get back to doing the things she loves so very well.

What an inspiration this gorgeous girl is.

Well my little Mermaid nearly wore this ole gal (moi) out swimming tonight...LOL...send in the masseuse! Earlier today I took her for a jaunt up-island to the Comox Air Forces Base Aviation Museum where she loved the old war planes and was totally enthralled by seeing gliders being towed up and then let loose to glide...it was rather soothing to watch...like giant birds. She is doing so well...passed her first semester brilliantly and will finish high school a year early so she can have surgeries to reconstruct both tibia bones to accomodate her lovely knees that are quite 'normal' as it turns out (no surgery to hips..yay!)...recovery is 3.5 to 4 months so she'll be able to graduate with her class...she's got only one course to take in grade 12....Ukelele!! She's so cool...xox LL and Storm

Happy for her and you lindilou, that things are progressing. Too bad she needs more surgery but all the best through the next recuperation....so young to go through so much!!!
