Wow, it's already been one year since Kiera's surgery

It's hard to believe that a year has gone by already since Kiera had her emergency surgery last July 4th.
I still remember how I felt when I was asked for my verbal consent to go ahead with emergency surgery. I also can remember what the drive home from up north was like and having the fear that we were not going to get there before something horrible would happen.
Her scar is still there, and issues around the surgery, but unrelated are still present....and always will be now. she was critical and had to be placed on a ventilator even before the surgery due to aspirating on the contrast the Doctors gave her. But Kiera's here, and has proven to be a very strong young woman.

Over the last few day's Kiera has been in one of her giggly moods which makes everyone around her very happy, love that!!!
