Leah Comes Home

Leah is HOME! We are definately feeling the joy of being new parents today, as we have had a wonderful day all together as a family of 4. Kyla could not be more excited to finally get to be Leah's big sister and she has been doting on Leah nonstop. It is so beautiful and loving to watch the affection that Kyla has been pouring forth onto Leah just over these past few hours.
God has allowed Leah to come home with us, and for that we lift our hands in praise and worship for His answer to our prayers. How wonderful it is to be able to hold her non stop, love and kiss her. Even with all the realities that we've been facing since November, it's funny that it actually keeps slipping my mind that she is so sick. I just feel the joy of holding my sweet daughter. We gave both our girls bathtime together tonight and it was so sweet. Kyla kept pointing out all of Leah's "tiny little parts", and reminding us that SHE is a big girl, who's 3 years old.
Leah's care will require tube feedings every 3 hours around the clock, which take nearly an hour from start to finish. We'll give her 4 different perscriptions, some once, others twice, and another 3 times a day to help with the seizures, blood sugar and thyroid. We feel very up to the challange of learning how to best care for Leah. Please pray that we'd be able to get enough sleep to take care of our two little girls for as long as they both need.
We might not update too often now that we're home, as we're likely to be very busy. However if things should change or we have new prayer requests we will definately post that for all of you.
We are praying for God's peace to just fill our home as we know that Leah's condition is terminal, and we don't know when or under what circumstances she'll go to Heaven. We are asking the Lord to allow those circumstances to be very peaceful, and for many days like today before it's time. We are asking Him for enough time to create a lifetime of memories together with Leah ~ and all of it to be for His glory!
