It's a good day!

As I was driving to get Aryana from school I was grumbling about the ever increasing gas prices.  Thinking about ways I could avoid having to fill my tank and kiss another $65 goodbye.  Basically I was worrying and not trusting that God would take care of things.  Just then the phone rang.  It was the CF clinic in San Antonio.  We had been there yesterday for McKenna's clinic and she had blood drawn to check her liver enzymes.  They have been elevated since November and I have been praying and praying that liver disease was not on our horizon.  Liver disease is the second leading cause of death in people with cystic fibrosis, and I just couldn't believe that God had this plan for my baby.

Her liver enzymes came back NORMAL!  It was the best news I have heard since finding out the older girls did not have CF!  I hung up the phone and praised God for answering our prayers.  I had tears streaming down my face....tears of joy =).  After thanking God for another miracle, I called Jaime to tell him the good news.  He has been doubting his faith lately, and I really think this may have restored it.  No one can tell me that God is not in control and on our side!  I just have an overwhelming sense that God is going to handle this disease.  Part of me is just waiting to hear bad news, news that is going to bring me to my knees and wondering why.  But, that news has not come yet and I have to keep faith it is not going to.  I have to keep praying for McKenna's continued health.

Hallelujah...... McKenna is doing great, so great that we don't have to go back for 2 months! Who cares how much gas is as long as ALL my babies are healthy. It is so refreshing to get good news.  Tonight I will sleep great.  God is so good!  Let all of the glory and praise be his!

• At clinic on Thursday I saw a mom who had not been so blessed. Her little baby was being admitted for whatever reason.  She came out of the back with tears streaming down her face and a
  frantic look on her face.  I wanted to jump out of my chair and give her a hug.  My heart ached for her, but part of me was glad that it was her and not me.  I said a little prayer for her and her baby boy and still it is on my mind.  I do pray for her comfort and his health every time they cross my mind. If you have a chance please pray for all of the people affected by this horrible disease.  Pray for a cure.  Pray for God to put the knowledge in some doctors head that holds the answer.  Thank you!
