: Hi everybody,
: Just to let you know that Ariel is at home now and doing ok. She is still in a lot of pain and hasn't really smiled since her surgery.The swelling is going down though and I should be able to visit with her next week!
: I should also let everyone know that a newspaper from Ariel's hometown just interviewed me out of the blue about her web-site and of course this one..Soo...as soon as the article comes out I will send it ASAP to Rich and Elaine!! The reporter was quite amazed that people from far and wide cared about little Ariel..:)

Thank you so much for that up-date, Rebecca! Poor little soul!! It's so distressing when children that age are in pain, because it's difficult to make them understand that it couldn't be helped. What was done, HAD to be done. But - kids are pretty resillient, and hopefully, by the time you visit with her, that beautiful smile of hers will be 'out' again and she will feel much better!!
Please give her a big cuddle, on our behalf, when you see her and remind her folks that we are thinking of them all. Bless them all.
Take care, Rebecca - and thanks again.
Kate.
