This weekend

Here are a couple of pictures from this weekend. Me with my swollen ankles and the pup, Inka. Our little summer cottage is still in the works, but we've started sleeping there finally this summer.
We'll keep you posted.

I forgot to tell you, if you have any questions about HLHS or Jacek and me, Agi and Dad are on top of everything. I have better and worse days so I'm not the best one to talk to right now.

Last month

Hi all,

Here's a couple of pictures from a month ago.
Most of you know our situation. We're still waiting. I just wanted to thank all of you for the kind words and support. It has meant a lot to me over these past several weeks, even though I haven't really responded to anyone. As I'm sure you can understand, this is the most difficult time I've ever had in my life. (For those of you who don't know yet, our baby has been diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.)
Thank goodness my mom came :) !!! And thank you all for the books you have sent. Believe it or not I've started about 4 of them at once -- my brain is working overtime so I try to keep it busy.
Keep your fingers crossed!
Lots of love

ps. we have a new puppy in the family. This was just a coincidence with our present situation (our dog died this fall - lung cancer) and Jacek was waiting for a puppy from the same line of rough coated Dashund as our previous dog. She joined our family about a month ago. I didn't really want a pedigree dog (you all know I'm all about saving the poor and unwanted), but I have to admit she's been really therapeutic for me. And she's really cute!
