Our sweet girl is HEALED!!!!!

Yes, our sweet Gracie girl is healed!!!!

"Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is within me,
bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psalm 103: 1-5

Over the past two weeks Tommy and I had begun to notice some developmental and behavioral changes with Gracie. We called her surgeon on Monday after much thought about it and explained everything to him. He told us he really wanted her to come in a get a MRI and MRA done soon. We both went back and forth about was this right, do we really need her to go through another MRI since she is already scheduled to have another treatement in two weeks.

So this morning we went in and got the MRI and MRA done. While in the recovery room our surgeons assistant came in to let us know that Dr. Turner was in a very important meeting but was able to step outside really quickly to look over her results. We are completely overjoyed to report that the remaining veins that we were going to treat in two weeks have shut themselves done. The malformation is completely shut down!!!! I immediately broke down crying, I am so incrediblely happy. He also let us know that the changes we have noticed are her body adjusting to everything and in time it will become normal again.

One worship song that Gracie loves to sing is "Our God" by Chris Tomlin. Sing praise with us to our amazing, powerful God who healed our precious girl...

Water You turned into wine
Open the eyes of the blind
There's no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shining
Out of the ashes we rise
There's no one like You
None like You

CHORUS
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...

Into the darkness you shining
Out of the ashes we Rise
There's no One like You
None like You.

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...

We are still here...

Yes, we are still here.. I have really lazy with updating our blog partly because I got an iPad for Christmas and I am still trying to figure things out on it.. Back in November the wonderful Sally Watts took some family pictures of us and they turned out amazing.. Thank you so much Sally!

If you want to see them you can go here and view them. The best way to see each image large (full screen size) is to view the gallery using the slideshow function, which is the blue and red squares icon on the upper right side of the page.

Enjoy!
