one big hurdle down

above all else, we are praising god for his presence and encouraging news today.  he gets all the glory.

i tend to fast forward through the good and worry about the upcoming days.  i have been thankful that those moments were short-lived today and i was able to catch my breath.

the MRI went as smooth as possible.  the waiting was pretty torturous and i knew ben lost his marbles when he stopped pacing and started answering the phone at the reception desk.   a dad in need of information on his baby can't be contained.  :)

we were thankful to have had a detailed conversation with the radiologist.   the next step is a meeting with the surgeon on friday.

when we got to see caroline she looked like she had been put through wringer.  at first she was pretty upset and had a hard time being consoled.   then she had a popsicle then a banana then crackers then i lost track because she did not stop eating for the rest of the day.  

she has recovered beautifully and had a great afternoon.

 if it weren't for the bandage markings and darn lump on her neck you would never know there is anything wrong.    

we are thankful for a god who strengthens us and family and friends who lift us up.
