We had the best weekend. Hib made it home. And by Saturday, our
little family of four was together again. We spent a lot of it relaxing.
Playing.
One of my best girlfriends was in town and we were able to
do a girls' lunch on Saturday. My awesome Aunt Christy and Uncle Sonny came down on
Saturday night to be with the girls. And Hib and I had a date night.
Libby seems almost completely back to herself. She’s
actually funnier. If that’s even possible. She’s been super communicative. And
super animated. She loves talking to me. And while I try
desperately to figure out what in the world she’s trying to tell me, she laughs
hysterically.
She’s developed a new laugh. The kind where her shoulders move up
and down rhythmically. Coupled with her steroid cheeks and belly, it's just too much. And the slightest thing sets her off. If I
drop one of her pill bottles, she’s jiggling away. If I tell the cat to hush, she has a fit. If I start laughing
at her, forget about it. It is,
honestly, one of the best things I have ever heard.
On Sunday, one of our favorite families, the Shelley's, came over. And we finished up the weekend at Libby’s favorite
Mexican restaurant.
Needless to say, to have this kind of weekend, amidst the chaos, was amazing. A gift from God. I found myself thanking Him all weekend. Thanking him for the sounds of a full house. Full in more ways than one. We are so humbled to be prayed for by all of you. So incredibly humbled. And the best part-your prayers are
being answered. We will never be able to express our gratitude. But I will continually try. I will continually try to express how much we feel your prayers. Thank you.
P.S. We did not get any results from Libby’s lab work on
Thursday. I didn't even try to call. I apologize! I will post as soon as I hear anything. I’m
wondering if it may not be until we go back to the clinic this Thursday. I’ll
let you know.
love to see her laughing - such a beautiful smile! you guys deserved a great weekend
