Home Soon

Well, we're on our approach to land home sometime this afternoon. The swelling has continued to subside and we're seeing just a little bit more of Amelia's beautiful eyes. Wes and I managed to give her a quick sponge bath - which she was not enamored with - and now we're waiting for her to finish her nap before final items are put in order for her discharge. As you can see in the pic, she's managed to find that smile when she's feeling OK which thrills us!

We are so grateful for our family and many friends who have walked with us so closely through this. As we've walked the halls both of the PICU and Peds ward and seen the many other children and families who may not have anticipated being here, we are reminded of the gift of community during difficult times. Thank you for bearing this burden with us. We pray that other kids and their families receive the same gift of healing and wholeness as we have experienced.

As you pray, we'd also ask that you pray for Amelia's transition with Mya and Owen. We're quite sure they will be thrilled to see her, but she does look a bit different and has some nice stiches on her head. Please also pray for Wesley in particular to get the much needed rest she needs.

We'll send out one or two more posts in the days to come and then some later given her follow ups with the doctors here...
