Another "full" day for Libi. We spent the morning with the Doctor and then took a visit to Joel's class at school.
The Doctor visit was good. We left with a list of orders for the lab. We will hit all of that tomorrow and needless to say, I am not looking forward to that. Pray for a good vein and a great tech to draw all of the blood necessary. We have 5 specialist appointments scheduled and a battery of other tests. I am so thankful for how God has ordered every detail of her medical care. It really is falling into place beautifully! A huge praise with Libi! She has this really unusual cough. I have been thinking that she is possibly aspirating on her bottles. Well, her pediatrician suggested trying some breathing treatments with her because he heard her wheezing today. I did one at noon and one just before bed...so far NO coughing! This would be HUGE!
The visit to Joel's 5th grade class was such a gift! You want to meet some amazing prayer warriors? Then just step into the 5th grade class at Cornerstone Christian Academy. These kids have prayed and waited for Libi Faith to come home since last November. Once again, God's perfect timing that they were able to enjoy a time of welcoming her home as a class today. These kids have stood with Joel in heartache as he let go of his sister Ari and they walked this journey to Libi with great anticipation! They have amazed me and encouraged me. I am blown away by their faith and love for this little angel. I thank you Mrs. Chambers for teaching these children to be passionate about their God! I thank you 5th grade class, for you have taught me much about pure love and childlike faith. I have been richly and abundantly blessed!!
Speaking of blessed...the blessings never seem to end around here. The greatest gifts have come our way. I came home after a long day yesterday only to find my parents had been here and cleaned my house!! What a gift! I have not had to think about dinner, nor will I for weeks! These are the blessings that mean more than I can say. I praise God for each of you who have blessed us with acts of service and taken our names before the throne of our Great God. Know that we are overwhelmed with gratitude for all that you have done!
Libi continues to make great strides. We are daily excited about new things we see in her. She and I have begun to sing show tunes together. So far, "Annie" seems to rank as a favorite in our repitour...My poor daughter...she really does seem to like me though.

OK that's it!! I am coming over to get my hands on that baby! The short visits I have had with her, I've been dying to hold her. If Mrs. Chambers can hold her, I'm next in line. So look out Libi Faith, Mrs. Semlow is ready for some snuggling. :)))
AGAIN, thank you for the daily updates!!
I was in tears as I read about the faith of your fifth grade prayer team! Whoa! What an encouragement to know that this generation BELIEVES God to do & move in HUGE ways!!
I am praying that the coughing is controlled...NO, that it ceases!!

Amy, I am sooo enjoying your updates on Libi! It's so much fun to see how God is working all things together for her good!!...and all those who come into contact with her are being blessed as well! And also good to know how to continue to pray specifically for her and the rest of the Arnold's.
What a blessing to be a witness to this journey you're on!!
