lily update & christmas!
Lily is 5 1/2 months old and continuing to do well. We haven’t had any recent doctors appointments, so I don’t have any new news there. Lily’s first steps therapist is still very encouraged by her progress. According to her developmental list of milestones, Lily is on track…or very close to it. She is grabbing at objects more and being more interested in “playing”. Her sweet smiles are such a nice reassurance.
We still very appreciative of everyone’s prayers. Most days I don’t find myself dwelling in the unknowns of the future. However, often when I see other children with development issues, I’m reminded that we may still have a long road. When we were in Bloomington, IL visiting Carl’s family for Christmas, we ran into a guy that has been following Lily’s story and praying with his daughters every night. His daughters were excited to meet Lily in person and were so sweet. I think we all had tears in our eyes. I love seeing God’s heart in a child’s faith and honest words. It was humbling to meet them and we are forever grateful.
Lily survived her first Christmas with both our families. Lincoln was very excited about all the presents he got to open…his, Lily’s, and pretty much everyone else’s as well. We had a really nice time visiting and being with family, now we are recovering!
