June 18th was exactly a year ago that Bailey was rushed to Batson after a CAT scan reveiled tumors/tubers in her brain and confirmed that she was in fact having seizures. I will NEVER forget that ride in the ambulance and feeling so helpless as I watched her have seizures in the carseat that was strapped to the gurney. I will NEVER forget the sick feeling in my stomach when at least 7 doctors came in and stood before us as they gave her clinical diagnosis, Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. I'll NEVER forget bursting into tears when we went to eat and a little girl, who's Daddy was holding her, looked me right in the eyes, smiled and waved at me. We will NEVER forget that time or the fear and heartache that we felt because our baby girl was sick.
Because we went through those times, it makes the sweet moments so much sweeter, the laughs so much funnier, and her accomplishments so much greater.We will NEVER take any smile, laugh, or even temper tantrum for granted. We are so blessed, we are so unbelievably blessed. God carried our family through it all and continues to do so. Bailey has overcome her obsticles by leaps and bounds.

We are so proud of Bailey and how far she has come in just a year. Bailey didn't get to play in her smash cake on her birthday because she was still in a medicated "fog". We gave her another cake this weekend so she could have another chance. She took it!
