Wow-since our reunion things have been crazy in my world. In August, Paige was transferred to Sioux Falls, Sanford. There she was diagnosed with a pretty rare birth defect called an intestinal malrotation with 3/4 turn vulvulus. She had to have a pretty big surgery to try and free her bowel and to save as much bowel as possible. Thankfully, everything went well and she has been doing well since. If this was not caught in time, Paige would no longer be here with us. This has been a real eye opener for me and my family. Be thankful for everything you have!!!!!!!! You can get her story at sanfordchildrens.org and go under family stories. Everything else is the same old! Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
