Lamby

Before I was born, my Papa gave my mom a little, pink and white lamb (that is shaved) for me. The lamb went with my mom to the hospital, and they put it in my bed with me after I was born. It rode with me in the ambulance too.

When I was older, I named it "Lamby." Lamby went with me to my second pacemaker surgery too--even in the operating room. She is going with me to my third pacemaker surgery next month. Lamby is over 10 years old now. She is older than me!

I think it's helpful to have a special stuffed animal with you along the way. I used to talk to her and let my feelings out. I felt like she was listening, and I knew for a fact that she would not make any comments! In my mind, she would talk to me.
