Abigael turns FIVE!

My first little Granddaughter, Abby turned FIVE last week! She is my sweet Abby! She lives in OK and we live in OR so we don't get to see her very often except on SKYPE and speaking by phone. She was delivered via emergency C-section when my daughter contracted severe toxemia, but that little sweetie is a fighter and never gives up (even when she is in trouble and should! :D) I would sit with her in the nursery since my daughter was so ill and couldn't and I could hear the nurses bickering with one another that one of them could not put that baby back in the incubator correctly after they did vitals. So I started watching.....and they did put her in the incubator longways - but she evidently did not want to be in that direction. So I watched her push off the side of the incubator (at 4 lbs 8 oz) with her foot until she was crossways in the incubator and then she stopped and rested and slept. When the nurse would come in to check her again, there she was crossways in that incubator and off they went bickering again.

Abby is about to be a big sister and I believe she will be a GREAT one! My daughter is 6 weeks away from delivering another baby girl. We have watched and prayed from afar as my daughter has taken charge of her health and worked hard to stay on top of her health challenges. I can hardly wait for this new little one and am anxious to get to OK and see how this set of girls is doing (I have another set in TX! - another day, another blog to brag on that group!)

SO THIS CARD was for our Abby's 5th birthday! Happy Birthday Abs!

Love, Grammy
