There are so many things that need to be blogged about. And the simplest answer that I can provide right now for any question is: It's complicated. I have plans to blog again and catch everyone up. And I hope that I get to write those posts. But for now, there is something big and magical to share.
Before this blog was published, sat a very frightened couple in a doctor's office. They had already been encouraged to end the pregnancy of their third child and they were confused, saddened and very frightened. A wonderfully kind doctor explained to them that from that point in the pregnancy, at 21 weeks, their baby had a 45% chance of surviving over the age of 5. They were told that if she did, she could live a relatively normal life.
That couple were embraced and loved by so many and thousands watched as little baby Tehilla survived. You all held a collective breath with us, for the first traumatic 6 months of her life and you all chuckled with our stories of her feisty-ness as she grew. You sent pictures, prayed, baked challah, sent her little gifts and wrote encouraging messages throughout her 4 open heart surgeries. You were there during the hardest moments and rejoiced with us as we all watched miracles happen before our eyes.
That little miracle is turning 5. And as magical as the unicorns that she adores, Tehilla has survived, thrived and sparkled. Her turning 5 was never a given. It was a goal that seemed unattainable for so long. It's a huge milestone in her heart journey and there is no other way that we can reach this stage, than by thanking G-d.
We are throwing her a unicorn themed 5th birthday party. And we are inviting each and every one of you. It will be a mesibat hodaya to praise and thank G-d. It wouldn't be right to celebrate, without extending the invitation to our blog family.
The party is on Friday, September 28, 1-3:30 pm at our home.
