Hip Chick's avid readers may have noticed that I took a week's hiatus from blogging. It was our anniversary week and Daddy and I took some much-needed time to focus on ourselves. Hip Chick was a "honeymoon baby," which indicates our marriage is still rather young.
No couple expects to manage major health ailments or disabilities early in their marriage- especially for their first baby together. We believe and hope our anniversary signifies our relationship's strength. These kinds of situations are known to test the best of marraiges and our worries will not lighten anytime soon. Yet, we are fortunate in that the past six months have hardly evoked an arguement between us two.
It is ironic timing that we received the initial "big bill" this week, from her first surgery last March. Hip Dysplasia is not inexpensive, quick, or simple to correct and it could be easy for us to drum up a little wistfulness. Surgery bills, durable medical equipment, and months of body casting do not necessarily lend a young household to the new home, exotic vacations, or additional children of its dreams. But one person recently remarked to us that G-d gave Hip Chick to the best possible parents to help her face her challenges. And that is worth all the treasure a marraige can desire.
