I took Hannah to an orthopedics appt today, hadn't been in two years...her spinal curve went from 41 degrees (moveable) to 75 degrees (not moveable) today! I guess I wasn't surprised when we had to talk about spinal fusion surgery! was just hoping that day wouldn't come :( We have decided it needs to be done so please pray for the timing to be right. Jenn 's baby is due the end of Oct and Becky's baby is due the end of Jan. He said they are scheduling into Oct and Nov now. this will mean 2 weeks in the hospital, 1 week in intensive care and 1 week in rehab.
thanks

Shades of Morning by Marlo Schalesky Blog Tour
Summary:
Marnie Wittier has life just where she wants it. Quiet. Peaceful. No drama. A long way away from her past. In the privacy of her home, she fills a box with slips of paper, scribbled with her regrets, sins, and sorrows. But that’s nobody else’s business. Her bookstore/coffee shop patrons, her employees, her friends from church—they all think she’s the very model of compassion and kindness.
Then Marnie’s past creeps into her present when her estranged sister dies and makes Marnie guardian of her fifteen-year-old son—a boy Marnie never knew existed. And when Emmit arrives, she discovers he has Down syndrome—and that she’s woefully unprepared to care for him. What’s worse, she has to deal with Taylor Cole, her sister’s attorney, a man Marnie once loved—and abandoned. As Emmit (and Taylor) work their way into her heart, Marnie begins to heal. But when pieces of her dismal past surface again, she must at last face the scripts of paper in her box, all the regrets and sorrows. Can she do it? Or will she run again?
Author Bio:
Marlo Schalesky is the author of several books, including Beyond the Night and Empty Womb, Aching Heart. A graduate of Stanford University, Marlo also has a masters of theology with an emphasis in biblical studies from Fuller Theological Seminary.

Wow, what a great book! I couldn't put it down from the time I started reading it! I have a daughter with a chromosome deletion and have friends with downs so it was a story that hit home with me. Such loveable characters that you can't help falling in love with! You have to read this book, it is one you will never forget!
