I am amazed!

My heart is bursting tonight! Aggie's in bed, tired after a day of NORMAL kid fun! We are already seeing behavioral improvements now that the tumor is gone! She is able to be more social, and she can hop on that left foot! And still.. no seizures!

Here she is napping in the van while we drove around town filling prescriptions and whatnot this afternoon. She certainly has some battle wounds. The ones on her head are from the clamp during surgery, and she has tons on her arms and legs from IVs and blood draws. I haven't counted because she won't sit still enough.. but I'm guessing she has at least twenty. We call them "polka dots" and she doens't seem to mind them at all.


When they let us go from the hospital I saw on her discharge papers "Activity restricitons: none." I said to the nurse, "Are you serious? She can really go on the playground, ride a bike, whatever?" She said "She sure can! Just don't let her rub mud on her wound!" So all we have to do is keep her from mud (and out of the water for six weeks)- other than that she can be a normal kid again!

We were blessed with some company today! We are sure looking forward to seeing everyone from home again soon!

Tonight Aggie and I played hide and seek for a good hour in the beautiful garden at the Ronald Mac Donald house. (Her wound is itching a little bit) I got to see that big Aggie smile dozens of time... and her eyes look almost normal again.

There are no words to describe this joyful return to health... it is perhaps a foretaste of heaven, of the days when we will be reunited with loved ones in Christ, when death and sickness are distant memories, when He wipes away all of our tears.
