Hi everyone! Sorry I did not post yesterday but I had a birthday party at my house for my niece that just turned one and by the time I could sit down to post I was exhausted. So I have to make up for lost time and I am doing the letters X and Y.
X is not an easy one so the only words I could think of were x-rays and xerox. X-rays absolutely have been a God send in Liliana's life. I remember the early morning when she was sent back from the step-down unit at the Cleveland Clinic to the PICU and how sick she was. We almost lost her. I remember one of the docs there that I really liked, pulling us out into the hallway to look at the x-rays they had taken of her lungs after she had aspirated. It was obvious that she had a lot of junk in there because you could see the spots all over her lungs. Getting x-rays while she was in the hospital was a regular thing for her. I am so thankful that we have had the use of x-rays in our lives because without it I believe our Lily would not be here.
Y is for year! I am thankful that even though 2009 started out a little rocky for us, with Lily still in the hospital recovering from her third OHS and all, we still made it through that chapter of our lives and we are much stronger people for it. God has a way of using our circumstances and people around us to make us stronger and show us how much he loves us. I thank God every day for this past year and I look forward with hope, and love, and joy to what 2010 will bring. We are absolutely enjoying every single minute with our Lily and we can't wait to see all the new challenges she will overcome. Thank you Lord for a wonderful 2009!

Ok, I had no idea she's had 3 OHS. Where have I been? I can't believe Jax is not glowing from all the radiation. 4 months of chest x-rays every AM, not to mention the ones since. Sheesh.
Yes thanks for x rays. Wysdom has had his share of them too. I knew about the 3 heart surgeries I just didn't know it was that recent. Thankful that everthing worked out. Sending you wishes that the next year will be a great one for Lily and your family.
I loved your Y thanks. It's so true that struggles make us stronger and bring us closer to each other and God. I hope 2010 is a great year for you too!
