Things definitely didn’t go as planned and I’ll try and give you the shortened version as not to bore you too much. The surgeons base their decisions largely on weight gain with Zarrah and she has pretty...

A Few Of Zarrah's Pictures
Hi...I've had quite a few people asking to see some some pictures of Zarrah and I've got a little page ready to go. It has only a few photos for now. Thanks to all for the encouraging words. Zarrah is strong and will eventually put all this behind her. Her surgical appointments did not go so well...

I'm VERY Nervous!
Well I have to say that I’m getting a tad bit nervous. Zarrah is having her 1 yr check-up at Sick Kid’s and they’re re-assessing her progress. She has an appointment with her surgeon and her neonatologist. The big decisions will be about her next surgery, whether we can start reducing her meds, and...

ZARRAH'S COSTUME CARNIVAL BENEFIT
Yesterday a few service clubs in Collingwood held a ‘Children’s Costume Carnival’ benefit for Zarrah, to help pay for her medical supplies, hospital trips, meds, formula and upcoming surgeries. It was weird, but really amazing to see a community come together to help her cause. They had clowns,...

FACING THE PAST...
Well I knew the day would come, when I would have to face my friends again from before I knew about all of Zarrah's troubles. It's funny how I seem to push away the people that are closer to me, when the going gets tough. Yesterday in the grocery story I ran into an old friend of mine, well I guess...
