Life Ain't Always Beautiful {Gary Allen}

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggles makes you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has its own way of takin' it sweet time

No, life ain't always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Life ain't always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walkin' all these lonely miles

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream, but life don't work that way

But the struggles makes me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has its own way of takin' its sweet time

No, life ain't always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Hey, life ain't always beautiful

But it's a beautiful ride

What a beautiful ride


Well, Gracie's vocal cord is still paralyzed. The doctor does not think it will correct. The reason she is louder is because her right cord is compensating for the left. It looks like she will be facing another surgery when she is around 16-17 years old. He is also ordering for her to have another swallow function to make sure she isn't aspirating when eating. We have to go back to him in October.
This is not the news we wanted. We are very disappointed since this was a human error while in the NICU. We are going to sit on this for a little while to determine how we will proceed with this.
Tomorrow we go to the PM&R. The appointment is at 9 am... yuck! Early appointments are so hard because the kids eat at 9 am plus we have to leave at 8 and there is almost always traffic.
Anyway, whatever! Have a good weekend.
