I'm Goin Home!

Yesterday was the day that we had prayed for, waited for, longed for, for the last three months! It had been 105 days to be exact! Man, I can't believe it now looking back on everything. Liliana is doing great! She looks healthy, acts healthy, is eating healthy, and just all around is more and more like a normal healthy baby. We are so thankful! God is so faithful! Yes, we had to endure a lot but I feel like it has made me a better person. I feel like I have a much different outlook on life and God has really worked on my heart. I feel like I truly have connected with so many families that have either gone through what we did with Lily or who were going to go through what we went through. It gave me such strength and joy inside to be able to advocate for downs children with congenital heart defects. It is a very scary and life threatening situation for these children and for their families. Any type of support system that any of us have is critical during this time. On the days when I thought I just couldn't go on someone would cross my path with a thoughtful gesture, words of encouragement, or an ear to listen. God says that he will supply all our needs according to his riches in glory. He took care of us financially during this time of our lives and we know he will continue to take care of us now that Liliana is home. We have been so blessed and we are so thankful for all of the great and wonderful things that happened in our lives during this time. I dedicate the song "Home" by Chris Daughtry to you because I think it says it all right now. Though some of the lyrics in the song don't make sense in regards to our situation most do apply especially about the places and faces getting old (that would be the Cleveland Clinic), and the part about loving the life he chose for me. We love the fact that we were chosen to be Liliana's parents even though it is a big responsibility we have been able to meet the challenge. We now can close one chapter of our lives and start a new one full of fun, excitement, hope, peace, and family times together watching our little angel from heaven grow up into the beautiful woman that God intended her to be. We love you Liliana and we always will!
