I had intended to post my newest GF cookie recipe, GF Roll-out Sugar Cookies, but I have instead been taking some extra time hugging my little ones. It reminds me of a question that I am asked frequently about how I keep a positive attitude in the face of all Noah has gone through. How can I still be thankful?
The answer is simple. Noah almost didn't get to come home from the hospital after he was born. Period. While Noah has many challenges, I got to bring him home when so many other parents in a similar situation did not. I am thankful every day that I have him to hold and hug and listen to his laugh when it could have so easily gone the other way.
And I am reminded today that I am lucky to have all three of my little ones. Getting to hug them, kiss them, and tuck them each to bed tonight. I am so very thankful and very, very, very blessed. And I am so very sorry that there are so many parents tonight in one small town in CT that are not so lucky.
I wouldn't trade what I have. I wouldn't trade my blessings for anything.
Noah's army is a group of volunteers united in doing a program that will give Noah the best chance he has for reaching his potential. Come by any time for news on his progress and to see pictures of him and his brother.
Prayer Requests
UPDATED 08/20/12
1. Please pray that we can continue to get our new house set up for all of Noah's needs and that we can find all the volunteers we needs to do Noah's program (this is always a big, slow process when we move).
3. Our other big request is for Noah's hip. Noah's out-of-joint left hip is really holding him back. He needs range of motion, and he needs the muscles that are too tight to loosen up and the loose muscles to tighten up and get bigger. Pray for a new type of physical therapy we are started specifically to help the hip.
