Recovery stinks...

Recovery stinks... but we remain immensely grateful that we have our sweet Gracie girl home!  Sweet Village, we could really use your prayers for ...

-Grace's Cardiology appointment tomorrow at noon (she will have a sedated echo), that we get only good results
-Grace would SLEEP well at night!  Some how I forgot that post surgery recovery is like having a newborn all over again.  Last night David and I got a total of 3 hours sleep (and that's a generous estimate) because Grace's sleep schedule is ALL out of whack and then she gets herself so tired that she does fuss bombs (and fuss bombs worry her mommy to pieces)...  You get the picture :-)

This is what Grace and I were doing at 2 am this morning...

-Wisdom to know, when and if there is a need for us to worry about Grace.  It's hard to know if Grace's fussiness is related to a lack of pain control from surgery or if her heart isn't functioning well and causing her to not feel well, etc.  There is always that part of us that is waiting for "the other shoe to drop" because things have gone so well post surgery thus far.  This is what I'm trying to set my mind and heart on...

We have tried to take it easy this weekend, so we have spent time playing at home, watching movies, snuggling, and we did venture out to a Trunk or Treat this afternoon...

This bump in the road just serves as a reminder that this is a life long journey where we are being refined in to Christ's likeness, while praising Him on the mountain top, but much more so when we are in the fire.  Thanks for joining us on all terrains of this journey :-).  XOXO
