Megan update

J
JollyRoger

Some good, some not so good.

I will start with the not-so-good:

Please say a quick prayer for Megan. There is no real cause for alarm, but the doctors threw up a red flag when we brought her to the doctor on Monday for her check up. She has had a rough week and a half. They just don't want her to repeat what was happening at the end of last year. From my last email:

 She started throwing up a little bit and they had us take her off her feeds yesterday and only do Pedialyte to see if that would help. They did weigh her yesterday and she has dropped a pound over the last week and a half. Thankfully though she is still at 16 pounds. We just don’t want it to keep dropping. She has started choking a lot again and sleeping a lot. We really need those biopsy results. Thanks so much!! 

Now for the most  "awesomest" news in a while. Megan took not one, not two, but three big girl steps on her own today. w00ts!!! Stacy said she looked so cute and Megan giggled the whole time.

Anyhow, thanks for all you that you folks have done for us, especially for your continued prayers.

Now this pic may be hard to make out, but Megan crawled INTO the cabinets and stood up and played with the plastic ware we keep stored there. Very funny, I guess you had to be there. It's another camera phone pic, and I tried to brighten it up so you can actually see her. :)

Good Update.. We left one cabinet unlocked so our daughter could play with the plastic ware stored. She knows that is the only cabinet she is allowed into. Sometimes she has most of the plastic ware thrown out on the floor.. \r \r Keep the faith

Yay, Megan pics! I've never had a man make me feel so happy and sad all at the same time before. You're going to need to start buying me dinner before these posts -- or at least get me a ring :)

The opthamologist visit should be fun and pain free! They will probably shine light through lenses that they hold over her eyes to check refraction. It is amazing to me that it works, but it does indeed! Our (one more week until) eight-year-old has work glasses since 20 months of age. Our son just went into them at 4. Darn genetics.

Jolly: Stacy is just too good... \"Can you believe that I pray selfishly?\" she says...\r \r \"YES!\" Of course I can! So can anyone!\r \r She is going through so much, but what I find amazing is that when she realizes that she is being selfish, she readjusts her outlook... and moves forward.\r \r damn... one strong lady... you better take care of her...

Thanks for the update Jolly. I know exactly what Stacy is saying...I know I go crazy when it seems like all the kids are doing is asking for stuff. It is like can we spend some time together and just enjoy the evening without \"Can I have? I want... Can you take me?\" etc...and I been thinking lately that God really would like that from me too...Also there's times when I pray and the honest prayer is \"Lord I am supposed to put your Kingdom first, but I know I haven't been and I am not very interested in doing so either...please help me be more interested in the things of God than my own things. Then there are times when I am so sick of my me centered life I just want to scream. That is why I like worship so much. It is one place where I can get away from it.

Your update definitely brought tears to my eyes. Not just for what your family is going through, but for the special daughter that you have. I don't have any kids yet, but hearing about your family and little Megan, it makes me want to have a family like you have. I hope the bad times are few and far between and the good times are the ones that last. \r You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
