Nighty Night

Kasiana is saying "Aunt Jan, Mimis..."

Kasiana picked up this great expression (Nighty Night) from her Great Grandma. The week before Hurricane Ike came, Grandma and Aunt Jan came down for a last minute visit. Mom had scheduled what she called a "simple procedure" that would be outpatient/day surgery to remove some SKIN CANCER. Okay that in itself is scary. It turned out to be a lot worse than she even imagined, and what she thought would be the size of a silver dollar, turned out to be half of her head. Grandma and Aunt Jan came and the family bonded around her for awhile, and it was a really special time for our family. Kasiana would look up at Grandma and say owie, as she pointed to her eyes that were swollen almost shut and her black and blue face.





She looks great now, and is figuring out how to style her hair, since half of it was shaved off. She's got some favorite scarves that she wraps around her head. The good news is all of the staples and stitches are out now. They've been through a rough September, and with Ike their power was out for over a week. They celebrated Friday, that power was restored and things are getting a little more normal.
