Stronger and Stronger

Abby has been home 3 1/2 Weeks now. She is doing pretty good and it's so amazing seeing her move around. Her endurance just keeps getting stronger and stronger each day! We went to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens during spring break, she along with her brother had such a good time. She didn't get tired once just like her old self again. We got some great news too. Those of you that have been following her blog might remember me mentioning that her seizures were thought to have caused damage to her eyes, while we went to the eye specialist and beside needing new glasses, Abby eyes are fine, no damage! How great is that. My little girl is so positive everyday! She doesn't complain when she could. How many of us girls know if we had to take medicine that made our cheeks chubby, we might have a fit. Well my little mama just laughs at her chubby cheeks and says I don't like them, but once I get my kidney transplant I will normal again. Most kids during this time are dreaming of toys and that kind of stuff, not Abby she just wants to hurry and get her transplant. As mom it's tough when you ask your kid what they want for their birthday and they say a kidney. All in time, Today Abby was doing her homework and it was about plants, it talked about kidney beans, and she looked me very seriously and said "If I eat kidney beans will that help my kidneys?" it was funny.

We got our Abby back. She is laughing and singing again and being a silly girl all over. She is so cute texting her aunties and calling her cousins on the phone to chat. She has been through so much, from a healthy little girl to be on a ventilator and look at her now getting stronger and stronger. There is always light at the end of the dark tunnel. Abby goes back to the doctors this week, we will find out when they will test her to see if her blood disorder is on remission yet. So please pray it is, so we can start her journey to a transplant.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. A special thanks to Lana for putting a smile on Abby's and Elisha face last week!
