Our little baby girl is about to turn 1 (on June 27th)! When I think back over the past 12 months that we’ve spent with her, in some ways the time has just flown by, but in other ways, it has been the longest year of my life. It has been truly amazing to see how God’s hand was on us every step of the way.
We have endured:
Seven major surgeries,
A total of three months in the hospital,
A few close calls,
Two ambulance rides,
Three trips to the ER,
Four trips to the ICU,
And countless doctor appointments, ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRI’s.
On the other hand, we have experienced:
Multiple shoulders to cry on,
Many hours spent in prayer,
The gift of mercy from those we know and others we know now,
Financial gifts for everything from medical expenses, to meals, to a hotel room to be near our little baby,
Jokes told at just the right time to help lighten the mood,
The opportunity to be a witness to doctors and nurses and other hospital staff,
Meals, meals, meals,
Unpacking, decorating, housecleaning and lawn services from friends and strangers – we moved in October,
A Christmas we will never forget,
And the love of Christ as so many of you wrapped your prayers and arms around us.
And for all of that, we know we can never ever re-pay, and we will be eternally grateful!
