Aliya's Blessing and upcoming jaw surgery

We were able to have Aliya's blessing yesterday. We decided to do it at our house and only had family come. What a special day it was! I am so grateful to have a husband who is able to give our baby girl a blessing. It was such a sweet moment to hear all the things he blessed her with! She is our little angel and words can't express how much love we have for her!
Well our next adventure soon awaits us...jaw surgery in a few weeks. When we had the ct scan done they noticed 2 vertibretes didn't form correctly so we had to meet with a neurosurgeon. The verdict is that she has no support in her neck and we have to be oh so careful with it. Luckily she has enough ligiments to support her spinal cord and if it does get pinched she won't be able to move her legs and arms. After talking to the neurosurgeon we will have to put her in a collar to protect her fragile neck....but not til after she heals from the jaw surgery. It was kinda a fluke we found out about her neck...but i am so so so grateful we did. I know everything happens for a reason. Eventually 2 or 3 years down the road she will have to have hardware placed in her neck to stabilize it...but right now she is too little and there is no bone to hook hardware to. One adventure after another...
