6/3 update that was not supposed to happen

The day that we were told would never come just came and went. By the grace of God our little Carissa Faith came home today. We are so happy, so thrilled, so glad, so wondering if we are really ready, so tired of hearing the pulse-ox alarm go off. Did you know that the equipment they send you home with that likely costs thousands instead of tens of thousands like the hospital equipment doesn't read quite as purely and well as the hospital equipment and makes incredibly loud and annoying beeping sounds (sometimes at the slightest movement of Carissa's foot) that you couldn't possibly sleep through? We know that...and are so thankful to have the opportunity to be annoyed by it. Colton had a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon when we drove up and Luke immediately tried to help little sister out by putting her pacifier in her mouth.

I'll write more soon, but please celebrate with us as we thank the Almighty God for once again showering us with His blessings and giving us the desires of our hearts instead of what we deserve. Please pray for us in this transition time (of Carissa's current special care needs and for Luke dealing with the situation and in training him that he cannot bother tubing, monitors, can't throw things for Carissa to catch...)and please thank God that He is the God described in Ephesians 3: 20-21...you know you want to look it up if you don't know it, so look it up.

Yours and His,
Terry
