Somewhere between the negative specialist appointment and development assessment, and the 3 am seizure episode resulting in two ERs and a 24 hour watch, and the milk intolerance and weight loss for Nolan, and the wean induced seizure for Landon, and the prescription adjustments that followed . . . I got a little worn down.
And just when I was starting to feel like perhaps this was a bit too much…
Nolan started drinking milk again. And has gained a 1/2 pound back in the last week.
And Landon started bringing his hands to his mouth on his own at times.
And Nolan made a sound. Not a coo mind you…but not a cry either.
And Landon is awake more often…little by little…spending more time with us.
Suddenly I had forgotten about the stress, and the bad news. The memory of the ER visits was squished away by some ill-timed-awkward-toothless smiles from my favorite little bald guys.
And somewhere along the way I realized that no matter how big the trials are, they are easily defeated by even the smallest of victories. You see, I celebrate it all. I take nothing for granted. And even the simplest of milestones or moments can feel so special. Joy can be found in all sorts of circumstances.
Speaking of joy…
God is so good! Beautiful smiles -thanks for sharing!
I enjoy each and every bit of news concerning these two bundles of joy. Always looking forward to updates. They are no doubt two beautiful miracles from god. but we must not forget momma, you too are so very special and strong. Thanks so much for sharing the progress with all of us in Facebook land. God’s Blessing on all.
The little things are the big things. We would all do well to remember this. The boys are cuter with every post!
God has given you and your babies the strength to get through all of this. So anytime you are feeling low, talk to God, tell him how you are feeling, he will be there for you. These babies are Gods children, he loves them too. You are so much stronger than most of us. We admire both of you the courage and strength you have shown. I do hope you write a book on your experience. We love reading your blog. Keep up the beautiful blog.
