My Daughter's Heart Surgery Celebration Day

On March 17th we celebrated the FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of E's open heart surgery. I couldn't believe that it has been five years since she has had surgery. Each year we have a special dinner and a special dessert to mark the day.

E has a book that we made her that describes her special heart, her surgery, her time in the hospital and why we go have tests sometimes at the hospital. So E understands what we were celebrating. In fact, she said, today is my special heart day celebration, so I get to do whatever I want. Today, that included a vanilla and chocolate ice cream cake.
