The first of multiple posts scheduled for the day!

Well, this post is to let all of you know that Sofi is doing much better today. Doctors inserted another chest tube to release some of the air found in her chest and to "re-inflate" her lung that had collapsed. For updates, please see her link on the blog. I have updated this to go directly to her carepage instead of the website. God is good!
Update for Lindsay: She will be given her first round of baby food at 1pm today!!!! Trust me, pictures will follow! Stay tuned........

PS The answers to a few posts ago about her two milestones.........of course 2 teeth, and the other one is that she is sitting up all by herself now!!! She is becoming such a big girl. We couldn't be more proud of her!

Thank you so much for sharing your story and letting us be part of it. Our visits with you and Lindsay (and Sofi too) are always a hilight of our visits to UofM for Brittney's biopsies. Please know you guys are an inspiration to us. We pray for your well being on a daily basis! Stay strong and believe!

Mimi said...: mmmm- baby food!!! TASTY. Mia isn't a fan of baby food- but she LOVES cheetos.

I can only get her to eat things that she can hold herself. She needs the control.

Michelle said...: So, what are you starting with??? Sog cereal? Runny spinach? Grey bananas? Yum! Looking forward to those pictures!

It's so good to know that Lindsay is doing so well and can appreciate those normal baby things. Thanks also for the Sofi updates. We were getting a bit worried down here.

I'm also a basket case because Zachy's starting to show signs that he's needing surgery soon. We had planned for June but I think we'll have to move it up. We were going to fly, but now I'm paranoid about being on the plane and possibly exposing Zachy to swine flu. Just not looking forward to that awful drive.

You guys take care. I LOVED the t-ball pictures! Cole really looks like he knows what he's doing! Joseph is starting t-ball but he's a bit clueless and has the coordination of his mother (NOT good!)

We're looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Love,

Heart Poem

It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. He asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."
