HAPPY EASTER!

We had a great family weekend together...just as I hoped it would be...much fun with the Comeaux's and the Poche's...and a little alone time for "just us."

The decision about the feeding tube is still up in the air, though Martin and I are leaning towards getting it. I will call to talk to Dr Alberty about it tomorrow. Thank you for your wisdom Missy and Teresa...it really helps. I am trying to hand this decision over to God...and I feel a huge weight lifted from me already. If I just let God lead us to the right decision, I know it will be easy.

Feeding:
Still varying...ate pretty well today. Weight tonight was 13 lbs. 10 oz. (1 oz gain since Friday) That is good news, but we still don't know if it promises continued feeding success.

Fever:
Has subsided in the last couple of days...hooray!!

Celebrating Elise:
She is starting to make words with more than one vowel sound in them...a new accomplishment! Examples: Mommy, baby, Daddy (Before, she would drop the final vowel sound.) Also...she actually made a full sentence yesterday: she wanted something (I can't remember what??) and I asked her to get her daddy to do it for her...she said, "Mommy do it." She is really communicating well. :) Martin made the comment last week that he sees a real difference in her since starting at BR Speech and Hearing...that solidifies that decision even more. :)

Sweet Audrey:
At Grandma's yesterday, they were picking "wishing flowers" and making wishes...she said, "I wish that no one will come to my house except Mommy and Daddy." I think that was her 4-year-old way of saying that she doesn't want us to leave again and that she's glad that we are home. Tonight, we were visiting with Papa, Ms Tonita, and Granny...she was giving lots of hugs and kisses...she said it was because at night in her bed, she fills her heart with all those hugs and kisses to give away. How sweet! Her daddy asked if Jesus helped her to fill her heart, she said, "yes."

How grateful we are for all of the blessings in our lives! Happy, blessed Easter!
