What A Week!

What a week it has been.  Born on Monday, brain surgery on Wednesday and discharged on Friday!! That's right.....Christi and Aly are out of the hospital! I cannot imagine having a fuller week than this past week.  So glad to have my whole family home in West Monroe.

Breakin' my girls out of the hospital!

Doing Great...

She is out of surgery and doing great.  Dr. Whitehead said she did great, responded well to anesthesia and the surgery.  They did a CT scan immediately following surgery and everything was clear and looked normal.

We could not have asked for better results. Christi was actually able to nurse her soon after recovery! 

Both Christi and I had so much peace throughout the day today. God is good!  He has been our comfort in our time of need and has made a way when there was no way.  

Many times people have chosen to abort and end the life of a child who gets a diagnosis like our little girl did.  It was never an option for us.  This is God's child and not ours. He has sovereign control over all things. 

More posts to come on the progress and the details.  

Here is a detail you may not know: Christi Michelle is one tough lady. 

my sweet girls

Our little "texan"

She Is Here! Now to the Surgery...

She is here! Born on 10/13/2014 and weighed 7lbs. 1oz.

Christi is doing absolutely incredible recuperating from having the c-section and has been able to nurse and get plenty (but not near enough :)) of loving on Aly.  She was even able to nurse her and hold her on the OR table while they were finishing up the c-section......very cool and unexpected. Many other details and things that we could say that were big blessings for us.

Aly is doing great.  She is just sitting in her little bed in the NICU awaiting surgery.

She will have surgery tomorrow 10/15 @ 8:00am to remove the meningocele. Will update more after the surgery.  Apologize for the briefness and lack of details.....hopefully more next time.

Thank you for the continued prayers and encouragement.
