Our Village

They say it takes a village to raise a child.  Boy are they right.  And boy has our village started to make us feel loved.  The amount of love people have for Kinley is simply amazing.  One of her friends on her last day of gymnastics gave her a panda because she knew she was going to have surgery.  And that same night we came home to beautiful cookies the neighbor had made just special for little Kinley.  The texts I get from everyone encouraging us and saying they are praying for us gives us all so much comfort.  And we feed off of that comfort.  We can do this, because we have so many loved ones standing beside us cheering us on.

For those of you who are interested, here are some photos of Kinley's MRI.  The big white area you see in her neck and spine is not supposed to be there.  That is all fluid.  And it goes down her whole spine.  We are hopeful after surgery that fluid will start to go back to where it should be and stop pooling up.
