Thankful...

Though nobody wants to go through something that we are going through with Taylor, I find myself thinking how God can use this to glorify himself in different ways.  I look forward to seeing Him work, and drawing closer to Him in this time.  I am also so thankful for many things...

Thankful that the tumor is only affecting 1 eye

Thankful that Taylor fell on her head to make me constantly examine her eyes, to which we took notice of the issue that the tumor is causing in which we then found said tumor

Thankful for a pediatrician who knew about NF and saw the signs and led us to get the diagnosis so that we knew the things to look for and keep a medical eye on her

Thankful that there is a treatment to deal with this tumor so that she has a chance at saving her eyesight; and that it is 90% successful in these cases

Thankful that we have many family and friends standing in the gap for us and serving us and loving us

Thankful that we live in a town close to one of the best medical facilities that has all kinds of specialists who know all about Taylor's condition

Thankful that we have good insurance

Thankful for a double stroller to roll around the hospital

Thankful Taylor woke up Christmas morning potty trained!!!

Thankful the baby takes a bottle and does well out and about

Thankful that my husband works from home and has some flexibility in his schedule

Thankful for the others I am finding that are going through this with their kids; it is great to be able to share information and stories and to have support from those who understand

Thankful that I serve a God who is mighty and loving and is with me as I go through hard times

Thankful for the peace that comes with knowing Jesus

Thankful for a daughter who is so full of life and brings others much joy; may she be a blessing to the other patients and staff wherever she goes
