We are now, officially, out of the Post Op time and Amelia has passed with flying colors!!! God has been surpassingly great to our family. We can now look forward to Amelia being a relatively normal baby for the time being.
This week, Amelia had her 4 month immunizations, only 2 weeks late. She cried less than during her 2 month shots. She also had her second round of RSV shots. Boy did she give the nurse a mean face before starting to scream briefly. We are starting to put her on rice cereal in hopes she will start to sleep through the night. She is close, but just not quite there.
We would like to thank all of you who have followed Amelia and prayed for her through this time. We have seen the miracles of God working through the hands of man as Amelia has been given a chance to see her first Thanksgiving and we are looking forward to Christmas with her. Thank you so much.
This Christmas season, we ask that you pray for others going through medical difficulties, specifically with a new born or child. We have met many amazing families with children as Amelia went through her treatments. Some kids have it much worse than Amelia has. We met one family at Phoenix Children’s Hospital who had a little girl born 5 days after Amelia. Today, they are still in the hospital and still working to get their little girl to a point they can finally take her home for the first time. And even with that happens, they will have a lot of work to care for their little girl. We count our blessings every day that our problems, such as they are, are so small in comparison.
Bless God and Merry Christmas!!!
Amelia, Kim and Brian
