Libi's Eye Surgery

Today Libi had eye surgery. She has what they call epiblepheron. Yes, that is a mouthful! Say it 3 times fast. Anyway, her bottom lashes on her right eye grow toward her eye rather than away from it. This has caused pretty frequent tearing for her and it was starting to cause damage to the eye. We had a WONDERFUL doctor who took care of Libi today. Her expertise was a true gift from God!

Libi was so good. Her sweet, content spirit amazes me. It rook them 40 minutes to get an IV in the poor girl! It is quite a challenge to find a vein on this girl! She was signing "all done" after her surgery for about an hour.

Here is the crazy thing. In spite of her wiped out state physically. She has stayed fairly dry today with 4 successful trips to the potty. The last 2 trips were initiated by her. We have a sign for potty and it seems to be working well. She enjoys her reward of 2 chocolate chips when she is successful!

Pray for continued healing of her eye! Blessings to all of you for blessing us with your prayers!!!

Wonder Woman!

These are just some pictures of Libi working hard at Easter Seals. A sweet friend made her little Red, White, and Blue dress...so ADORABLE! I felt she was a little "Linda Cater"ish on this day. :)

LIBI ON THE BIG GIRL POTTY!!!!!!

CRAZY RIGHT!? Oh, I am beside myself tonight. This girl amazes me. There is so much that she gets that I do not give her credit for. I cannot even begin to imagine all that she is soaking in. Last night when I was getting Libi ready for bed I asked her if she wanted to sit on the big girl potty like mama. She shook her head "yes" and signed "more". So, I took her in and sat her on the potty. She thought that was the funniest thing to sit on the potty! I told Brad about it and we asked her tonight if she would like to do it again and her response was the same as the night before. So, I took her in and sat her down. I began to encourage her and she made a little grunt and furrowed her brow and she did it! She peed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call me crazy, but that girl knew what she did and she was PROUD!

I cannot tell you how God will do things in this girl on a daily basis to give us hope for even MORE than we have seen so far.

I don't think I will ever rejoice more over a child peeing as I am tonight!!!! Praise songs and praise dancing in the Arnold 1/2 bathroom!

Look what Libi can do!!

We BELIEVE God to be Libi's HEALER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Bugs!!

These are my sweet friend, and neighbor's little girls with Libi. My neighbor made them matching little dresses and we tried to get a picture of them. It was too cut to not post them all. We just crack up at their faces! How fun it will be to add Haddie into the mix of these 3!
