This is the amazing journey of our two miracles. John Craig was born on November 30, 2005 at 24 weeks and 5 days gestation. He weighed 1 pound 8 ounces and was 12 inches long. John is a true miracle and an inspiration to all that meet him! Hope Amanda, our perfect little girl, is currently recovering from two brain surgeries to remove a 6cm mass from the center of her brain. Hope represents everything good in this world and she too is an inspiration to all.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29.11

Big Girls Don't Cry!

What a wonderful feeling it is to walk away from a Dr.'s appointment with a HUGE smile on my face..........as opposed to balling my eyes out:(

Today we had an appointment with the pediatric surgeon to discuss/evaluate John's scissoring (toes crossing over each other) and his hips. They took a couple of X-rays of his hips........AND, they are PERFECT...developing just as they should!!!!!!!!!! We also discussed the possibility of Botox to loosen his inner leg muscles.....sorry, I can't remember all of the medical terms! Anyhow, The Dr refereed us to another Dr who specializes in Botox. So, that will be our next step.

Ohhhhh.....God is Good!

Pictures tomorrow.....I promise!
