HEARTFELT GRATITUDE...

today we received wonderful news!
news that i don't take for granted.

graham's heart murmur is gone or very faint!
his heart shows no areas of concern and is functioning great.

i'm not proud to say, yesterday i was a mess.
i chose to spend the day worrying.
then i found out he would be sedated for the ekg and ultrasound.
i couldn't stop crying.
i couldn't fall asleep last night.
i most definitely wasn't resting in the peace i should have been.
graham wasn't too jazzed about the looming procedures either.
but he did much better than i did.



there were many prayers said for graham's heart as well as our peace.
i was reminded yet again what a blessing it is to have others who pray for us.
and others who gently remind me i'm not in control,
and no matter the circumstances,
it is a blessing that someone much, much better is in control.

now that sweet baby boy is at home again.
thanks to the "benydryl-like" sedative he drank this morning,
he is sleeping the day away.

and yes, you do see correctly...
we have another full-fledge thumb sucker on our hands.
i love him. more than a little.

and i give thanks for every detail that makes him who he is.
