Reese is feeling MUCH better, I dare say she is 100% again. Praise the Lord! What a stressful time. I don't think I've ever asked the Lord to let me take away pain like I did last weekend. I wanted to fight the illness for her. I wanted her to be able to sleep and feel well, but I think it's times like those that force me to trust that God is in control...to have faith that He will heal her. Gosh, those 3 days felt like forever. But I am so thankful that He takes care of His children.
I feel like so much has happened since Tuesday, so here goes:
1. She is sleeping in her own room in her BIG crib.
2. She is clapping...any time she hears the work "clap", she claps.
3. She is feeding herself pancakes, sliced pears, whole peas, and chopped carrots and apples.
4. She has adopted a new smile, pictured above. It's a cheesy grin (her daddy calls it her "ham cheese" face. It is so stinkin' funny. She smiles so big that her eyes close, her nose wrinkles, her cheeks sag, and all you can see are her lower gums and 2 bottom teeth.
5. She is laughing more (I finally made her laugh!). When she laughs, I swear that the world stands still. It's absolutely the most precious sound I've ever heard.
We actually had a family moment the other day where Reese was sitting in Dowell's lap and they were watching Cooper and I play. Reese got tickled and started laughing...so we all started laughing. For at least 5 minutes we all played, smiled, clapped, squealed, and laughed. It was exactly what we all needed...a time of fun and togetherness that we haven't had in a while. I can't imagine loving anything more.
