Ah yes, good old 2008, I'm really not too sorry to see you go. Well, actually I am, time flies by way too fast, I'll be old before I know it and I'm sure I'll cherish every memory. We had lots of good times in 2008, but we dealt with some tuff stuff too. Here's a monthly recap of 2008 for the Redford family. The computer is not working too well, I'll have to finish later...
January 2008
We started off 2008 with a BRAIN, oops I mean BANG! I had my first MRI on New Years Eve. I was pretty much freaking out, I thought I had Multiple Sclerosis, but a few days later we got the MRI results back and learned I had Chiari Type 1 Malformation. So, I spent the next few months going to doctors, getting MRI's and learning about my diagnosis. It was going to be a long road ahead.

May 2008
Our last family pictures at the park before my surgery scheduled in May. After celebrating Madison's birthday and Jeff's graduation, now I felt ready for the big surgery day.
My brain decompression surgery went excellent. Here is a lovely picture of my scar and stylish hair-do. I didn't want to have to subject anyone to seeing the other pictures of my head with the staples still intact. It was a huge relief to get this surgery over with. We were very blessed. I still struggle with equilibrium problems, but I'm glad I had the surgery and hopefully with time my brain will heal more.

I can't believe it is a new year already, and how many things we manage to cram into a year. I enjoyed the first half, can't wait for the second.
I don't think I could do a recap month by month if I tried! Great job. So glad the surgery is behind you, and here's to great things in 09.
I am excited for a new year, I hope it brings good things for your family!
It was a difficult year for us too! Here's hoping 2009 will be better.
It was fun to see the recap of your year. I think I'll need remember things we do each month to do that. I hope this year won't bring too much tough stuff for you but more of the good stuff.
