This is a pretty typical sight around our house...even though this was at a park in New Braunfels last Saturday. Carissa enjoys life and most often is very quick to flash a big toothy smile. Last week she took on climbing up the stairs in our house with a determination that said she had been training for that moment her entire life. What a huge victory laugh and celebration she had at the top!We did find out last week that Carissa has a big challenge with an immuno deficiency. She does not seem to produce antibodies that are necessary to keep her from re-catching any of the illnesses she has already been through or potentially help keep her from getting very sick from an illness progressing further than it normally would. We will be doing additional tests in the upcoming weeks. Please understand if we go even more conservative with getting her out in crowds.
What a great time of the year to make sure we focus on how incredibly richly blessed we are. I hope and pray each of you take time to recognize how blessed you are. We are certainly all very thankful for each of your prayers that you have lifted up for Carissa.
- Please thank God for our miraculous little 19 month old Carissa and give Him the glory for her amazing progress.
- Please pray that reasonable solutions will be found to improve her immunity.
- Please pray Carissa will continue to grow and develop and that her body will fend off the anemia.
Thank y'all so much for your prayers and have a Great Thanksgiving!
Terry
