One year ago today...

...we were sitting in the surgical waiting room at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. We were waiting to hear anything about Allie's procedure. Just thinking of that day makes me feel stuff. I can remember things I shouldn't be able to remember.
I remember the guy that called our names from the desk and we ran over there for him to tell us that Dr Krieger had called down and everything was going really well. I remember saying "okay, okay good". and then just standing there like if I didn't move, he'd tell me more.
I remember that I was wearing these brown heels that I love and I thought, I am throwing these heels away as soon as I get home.
I remember a lot of scary things I wish I didn't.
But now I watch Allie for about ten seconds and the thankfulness edges out the fear. She is fine. Better than fine. She is fantastic. Allie you are awesome! AWESOME.
