EYEBALLS!

Psalm 68: 19,20
"Praise the Lord; Praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. Our God is a God who saves! The Sovereign Lord rescues us from death."

This is what our bed looked like last night. Yep we slept. All night! Emmaus woke up at 3am crying...not because she had a seizure...but because the child was HUNGRY! She cried when I changed her diaper because she was alert-not lethargic due to recovering from a seizure. The girl was hungry and so she cried. And that noise was music to my ears. I love that my biggest concern for her last night was that her fingers were so cold ! (She likes to sleep with her hands out of her swaddle now and man were those fingers cold!)

EYEBALLS!!! When Em was a few weeks old and started becoming more awake and alert I would say "EYEBALLS" when she would be really awake and alert. In a brand new baby you just rarely seem them! Well she has been so tired in the last few days we have rarely seen those baby blues . I am so thankful to see those beautiful eyes.

And that little smirk.

We know she isn't "cured" we know that there is no guarantee she will remain seizure free in the next days, weeks, months or years. We understand we have a long road ahead of us...But we also want to celebrate the victories we are having. And a night full of sleep, free of seizures, cries of hunger and frustration that she is having her diaper changed are all welcome things in our home. And huge victories that we will celebrate.
Thank you Jesus for your faithfulness- Thank you Jesus for your love.
Love,
