She's all prepped and ready. Pluto being a trooper is in on the action too ! I loved the anesthesiologists reaction when he saw her. He said based on her medical chart she's not what I expected to see. She's amazing. #mommysbravegirl #agirlandherpluto #miraclebaby #kaiserpermanente #nicubaby #blessedmommy (at Kaiser Permanente Ontario/Vineyard Medical Center)

Even though I dread coming here it always serves a purpose. I hate being asked about Alexandra's medical history and have to relive my greatest tragedy. However, I love how they always look at her long medical history and look at her with amazement. Tonight once again I was reminded how much of a miracle she is. The doctor asked me how how I did it. To which I said," first through Gods grace, second I quit my job, blew through my savings and 401k and any other retirement accounts I had, and have dedicated the last 4 years only to her. Just now Im starting to get back to regular life, just now I'm started to work regularly, anything I had I've used to pay for therapies and any medical care that insurance didn't cover." The doctor looked at me and said, "that's amazing. That's a mothers love. Now you know it was all worth it."So today I got reassured that all those nights I've cried alone and in secret worrying about the future haven't gone unnoticed. #alexandrathegreat #mymiraclebaby #nicugrad #kaiserfontananicu #kaiserpermanente #foreverakaisermember #amotherslove #mylovemylifemyeverything #myworld #itwasworthit #blessed #godisgood (at Kaiser Foundation Hospital – Fontana)

Cake pop success. It's a shame Alexandra is on time out. #confetticakepops🍭 #mothersanddaughters #cakepops #mybabygirl #spoiledgirl #timeout #toddlerintrouble #cakepopsuccess

Back pain and all but I promised her cake pops so here we are in process. #myneckmyback #youknowthesong #cakepops #mothersanddaughters #confetticakepops🍭 #mybabygirl #spoiledgirl

So my car accident was at 3 pm today right after work. I'm still here in the hospital like a boss. Turns out a fractured vertebrae is a serious deal (sarcasm). #mandytransforms #hungryandthirsty #caraccidents #thankyouuninsureddriver #myneckmyback #youknowthesong (at Desert Valley Hospital Emergency Room)

For most people it's Super Bowl Sunday but for us it's family Sunday which means we bake. Alexandra loves to bake just like me!! On this weeks menu we have chocolate chip cookies. #alexandrathegreat #ilovehersomuch #familysundays #lovebaking #mybabygirl

So I've been calling Alex telling her to come and eat. She said she'll be right there. #alexandrathegreat #teenagersbutshes4 #lazysunday #sleepyhead #ilovehersomuch

I totally forgot how cold it’s been. I woke up late and forgot that there was ice all over my car. Its hard to get off and I was running late so what did I do ? Drove to work with the windows down in freezing weather with my head sticking out so I could see. Super ghetto status. #hesperialife #mandytransforms #worklife #workingmomandstudent #ghettofabulous #iworkcauseihaveto #idrathersleepin #coldoutside #winterproblems (at Hesperia, California)
