Busy Weekend

We have had quite a busy weekend...basketball game - Friday night...lost by one. :( The team played very hard, but it was heart-breaker. Saturday...Audrey's birthday- 4 years old!! Soccer game in the morning...party in the afternoon. It was great fun!! Sunday...Audrey and Lydia and I went to church and to some friends' birthday party at Bouncing Tigers. We all had a super time!

Still no word from the dr's office in Atlanta...left a message on Thursday; called twice on Friday. I will call again tomorrow and call Dr Hollman to see if she can get a hold of them for us. We'll update when we have some arrangements. Thanks for all the offers of help...beware- we might take you up on them! :)

Grateful for this blog...
This blog started out as an efficient way to disseminate information about Lydia's progress and medical updates...oh how much more it has become! It has been such a therapeutic experience for me to be able to get out all of my thoughts and feelings. I feel so uninhibited when I sit down to type, and I feel such a release when I get it all out. The feedback that I get is so very helpful...sometimes just knowing that "you're there" and that you're listening means so much! The prayers!! I feel so blessed to have so many people praying for us, and especially for our dear Lydia. I really feel like I have a direct link to God...I have seen so many of our prayers answered when I've asked you to join us in prayer. I know that there are so many people reading this whom we've never met. I've heard from friends of friends (of friends of friends...)who don't know us, but feel a special connection to our family. To these people...thank you for listening to our story and praying for our little angel. So many people have told me that they wake up to our updates or read it just before bed each night...I am really touched by your dedication to us. I know that God is watching and listening...and maybe this is just what He intended...for indeed, we are "the body of Christ."

Lydia has a six-month check-up tomorrow with Dr Wood...can you believe it? She is six months old...today!! How time flies!! She's been attempting to eat some baby food this week...squash. Some days she's been not-so-interested, but a couple of times she really enjoyed it. We'll try some rice cereal and then some sweet potatoes next. I've been proud of how she's done so far...better than I expected.

Have a great week!
