Nacho is a very expressive donkey. I have never heard a donkey converse more with human interaction than Nacho did. Samantha Grace was taken aback from his mighty "hee-haw" but then quickly burst into rolling laughter.
She also met another loud noise last night for the first time...FIREWORKS! At first she was a little timid but then was abruptly attracted to the colorful falling "glitter".
Below is a short medical update...Samantha Grace went through two days of low numbers but has quickly recovered. Following our days of lows, we went on a complete roller coaster ride with our levels reading normal to high (350), low and then back to normal. This is something that I am constantly having to remind myself will eventually somewhat steady out, but in the meantime it is frustrating that wears on me mentally and emotionally.
I believe that this has been the most emotionally taxing week since the days we were in the hospital. So my main prayer request for our family is that we would have a time of pure relaxation while at the lake. I will be calling into Birmingham tomorrow with Samantha Grace's levels, so I ask that you would pray for clarity of mind for all the nurses and doctors.
I send a HUGE thanks to Dr.M for all the special care and help you have been over the past few days. All of your love and support, as I have told you before, means more to us than we could ever put into words. I also ask for prayers for Dr.M as she will be having a huge part of her adoption process, the home visit, taking place this week. Pray for a good and obstacle free visit.
I leave you with these words from a song sung by a friend at church today that I have heard a million times but really spoke to Josh and I this morning:
He's Always Been Faithful
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
Morning by morning I wake up to find
The power and comfort of God’s hand in mine
Season by season I watch Him, amazed
In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He’s always been faithful to me.
I can’t remember a trial or a pain
He did not recycle to bring me gain
I can’t remember one single regret
In serving God only, and trusting His hand
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He’s always been faithful to me.
This is my anthem, this is my song
The theme of the stories I’ve heard for so long
God has been faithful, He will be again
His loving compassion, it knows no end
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He’s always been faithful, He’s always been faithful
He’s always been faithful to me.
