This is the day the LORD has made!

Just thought I would blog a little bit today for those of you who are not on Facebook or receiving updates via email. Zane is home with mommy, daddy, and big brother Miles and we are thrilled to see this family come together in their own home. There have been several ups and downs. but everyone is beginning to get into that "new baby" mode and Zane has been chowing down today. I will be staying in Texas for another week to care for Miles while Zane and his parents head back to San Antonio for two days of check ups and additional tests. For example: they have already checked his hearing once at the basic level, but will be checking it at a higher level to insure his brain is processing the sound. Many things remain undetermined at this time and the "wait and see" approach is the path we are taking. Debi went online today and discovered many other families with children who have had a "perinatal stroke" (as a matter of fact 1 in 5,000 babies have this occur) and came away encouraged at how well many of these children do over time. So, we will let Zane disclose himself to us on his terms and trust God for the rest. Zane is to us, a normal newborn and we don't think of him as anything other than that. He will tell his own story as he grows and matures. And LORD, willing it will be an amazing story! Lately, I have begun receiving emails from friends who relate a story of their child or grandchild where the doctors had no hope for them, and yet in each circumstance the child or grandchild has grown up to be a fully functioning adult. Walking miracles! So that's what we are praying for too! Meanwhile we celebrate today. "This is the day the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

Many Blessings, and thank you for the ongoing prayers.
