I have been up and down about it all. Part of me really feels like she isn't demonstrating so many of these symptoms, and that I shouldn't be worried. By all other accounts, she is a really normal baby. The doctor thinks so too. He just wants to be careful and cover all of our bases. Sometimes I jump years ahead and envision how we will deal with her if she has these issues.
Please pray that the Lord will change how Ben and I are tending to respond to this. We are already thinking about how this will potentially affect our and Ellie's lives, rather than taking it a day-at-a-time. Pray that we will know the Lord is GOOD, and that we are driven to our knees by this. I told a dear friend yesterday that I do feel that the Lord knows that it (sadly) often takes my desperation to drive me to him, and nothing else can. It's happening, and it feels so GOOD to need him again.
Thanks. I will continue to keep you updated. We are not yet sure when we will go to Louisville for testing.
In other news, I praise God today, because he has recently brought about 4 new friends (all such encouraging women!) into my life. This is HUGE, as I have felt a deep need for good relationships down here for a long time. And it is so good of him to be developing these in a time of huge weakness for me. So yay for that!
Love Whit
