As much as we are anxious to get Round 2 underway so we can get back to living life,I cannot adequately express to you what a gift it has been to have these days at home.Come Saturday, it will be 2 weeks total since we left Children's.That equals almost half of the time spent in the hospital with Round 1.Speaking of which,it is amazing, that as we trudge through what seems like unbearable ,unimaginable, never ending moments, that those times seem to fall into the recesses of our minds and hearts rather effortlessly.Now mind you,I won't soon forget many of the things that Zoey has endured over the last 21 months but as time passes,the sting seems less,the deep pain in my heart eased a bit.A reprieve until I have to prepare for the next onslaught.I have appreciated and cherished each day home.Made the most of each moment.We of course have not been able to venture out of the house but that has been fine.Being home has been more than enough.I love being able to enjoy the Christmas decorations,watch movies,read books.Just spend time with the kids.Get reacquainted with my husband.Reconnect with family and friends.I have missed all of it and will miss it all again during Round 2.And 3. And 4.And 5.But then,God willing,we will be able to place that in the been there,done that and most importantly:conquered that,category.Zoey is racking up impressive numbers in the conquered category.So many for such a little thing.Thank you for all the beautiful comments from my last post.I am humbled as I read each one of them and I am once again awe struck by the impact this child has had,the mark she leaves daily,in the lives of so many.You all are just as much a blessing to us, as she is to you.Our load is lightened by your presence in our life as we continue on this latest journey.And for the record,I am putting in a request for say,a,more light hearted destination next time.These last ones have been less then desirable.Could someone put in a complaint with the travel agent that booked them?We have been less then satisfied.Refund please.

Hi Heather -
The "R" word is an amazing, wonderful word to hear. I remember hearing that and 3 adults were in tears in the doctor's office. You anticipate, and dread what you feel will be said to you, and instead God smiles down and you get the "R" word through the doctor's lips.
Enjoy your time home with the boys and Taylor. (and "Markie" of course)
Zoey's strength is beyond amazing. A princess warrior!for sure
Take care

I love these pics of Taylor and Zoey, soooo sweet!
I am so happy for this time to be quiet in your home and soaking up all the goodness in life that you can. As of late I have been referring to myself as the little engine that could! I started off with I think I can..... now saying I know I can. I know you would like a refund for your ticket, but you and I both know that He is doing a work in us and we want to strive for that final completeness in Him!
