Thank you all so much for touching base to make sure all was ok with our precious wonton. I just needed to take a little break from blogging and concentrate on the family a bit ..especially after Myah's surgery. She is doing GREAT !. Her incision has healed up and she is a happy 4 year old..soon to be 5 in March.
She has really turned a corner. She can recite her ABC's and able to write 3 letters of her name. She has been communicating so much and really putting an effort in trying to talk. She is able to put 3 words together and says them clearly..but then there are times that she completely butchers the word..for example her brothers name is Mitchell and she tries to say Mitch but calls him BITCH.. ummm yeah tell me about it....
She is still very soft spoken and wont initiate conversation with others but she does grace them with her almond shaped eyes and her gorgeous smile.
Hank and I have managed to remain strong and provide the best we know how. We have been taking some time away from the kids (they stay at moms overnight) so that we can recharge and be able to face the next obstacle that comes our way..and there will be many...the question is when ...so we wait for the other shoe to drop but live each day to its fullest...
The bond that these 4 kids have is like no other...they have managed to weave their inner souls and love each other. I can sleep tight at night knowing that if I lived my last day here on earth my kids can carry on knowing that we are family and through thick and thin they have each other...Its a great feeling to have ..something that is not taught but instilled in them...I am so proud of my kids and their relationship with each other. I am especially proud of my oldest son Devon who is mommy's helper..He has grown up before his time, he has picked up the slack when I am not around.
Our holiday was great..we spent it with limited gifts but an abundance of love and thankfulness for having each other. We managed to get away to Paradise Island, Bahamas with my parents and my sister and really spent some family time away from hospitals, doctors and pressure.
This years resolution is rather simple....I vowed to accept help and not try to mico-manage everything especially when I cant handle things on my own...giving up some control and allow people to help is very hard from a control freak like me...I also vowed to not be so hard on myself if I drop the ball...I am doing the best I can for my family and they know that...
So bring on the New Year with no expectations other than building a stronger and healthier family unit...
Thanks for all the emails ...I am back my fellow bloggers !

Rina...so glad to see your post! Stay strong friend!
Oh Rina, it's so good to "have you back." Couldn't help but be concerned when all communication seemed to stop. BUT YOU WERE DOING THE RIGHT THING!!!! SMART GIRL. It's not about US, it's about you and your family. We just CARE and are eager to know what's going on. Oh, and I'm so excited about Myah's progress with her speech...it's in there, just have to wait til Miss Myah is ready to use it. Keep up the good work...we support you with our love and prayers.
Hugs to all the family.

So glad to hear about all of God's blessings pouring down on your family. Sounds like the time away was well spent, well deserved and well received! Vickies mom said it so well... although worried and wondering it is not about US... it is your family and Myahs life... we all just care. Myah's progress sounds fantastic! Tell her people in Texas pray for her daily! Glad your back!
