Abby sleeps peacefully, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. She's been a trooper through the surgery, and Dr. Green has just given us the best news we could hope for-she's come through with flying colors.

"We'll need to keep her under observation for a couple of weeks," Dr. Green explains, his face alight with a rare smile. "But if her recovery continues this way, we won't need to consider another operation for at least 12 months. Just monthly check-ups." Relief spreads through me, and tears of joy prick at my eyes. "Thank you, Dr. Green. That's just the news we needed to hear."

He nods, his expression softening. "She's a strong little girl. Just make sure she takes it easy and follows all the post-op care instructions."

"We will," Jayden assures him, his hand squeezing mine. "We'll do everything by the book."

As Dr. Green leaves, I look at Jayden, my heart swelling with gratitude and love. "For the first time since her first operation I think she's going to be okay."

He pulls me into a gentle hug. "Yes, she is. And so are we."

We've settled into the Brennan wing, where Abby can gain strength under close observation. The atmosphere is a mix of hospital efficiency and homely comfort, designed to make families feel secure and supported.

Abby's room is bright and cheerful, filled with her favorite toys and books. I can't help but feel optimistic.

She stirs a little and opens her eyes. "Mommy, can we go home soon?" Her voice is still a little weak.

"Soon, sweetheart," I replied, stroking her hair. "We need to stay here for a bit so Dr. Green can make sure you're all better."

Abby nods, "can I have Jello for breakfast again?"

I laugh, "you sure can, Sweety. Anytime you want."
