Happy Valentine's Day! We received the best Valentine today as Eden spent much of the day playing . . . yes, just what we requested prayer for yesterday. She found joy playing with "Little People" and riding her "Wonder Horse." She has been telling us "horse nigh, nigh" since our initial hospital stay and today she told me "horse wake up!" Reading books was still important to her today but NO movies, so thankful for that.
Our home became musical today with the addition of Eva's piano! Eden enjoyed the outing to Eva's home (hooray for another outing with 'no pokes'). She was quite the supervisor as Kurt and friends moved the piano out of Eva's, onto the trailer and into our house. Eden kept her distance from a view on my lap; but, that did not stop her from keeping the guys company, chatting away to them. Tonight she showcased her musical abilities . . . we will be saving up for lessons!
We have already noticed a difference in her sleep today now that she is not taking the steroids. She sacked in until 8:30 this morning. Regarding her nap, she slept for an hour and a half. Her appetite is still healthy. Once again, soup was a mainstay on the menu- ha! We have noticed the side effect of leg weakness, common with her meds, as she has difficulty standing up and with stairs.
Our little Valentine was especially sweet. We thank God that he has given us such a precious little girl so we can begin to better understand His love for us.

What wonderful news to hear of a Happy Valentine's Day at your house. Our God is a loving God, and he blesses us daily in so many ways, large and small. We had a healing service at our church this morning, and we held little Eden up pray. She is so precious, and loved by so many. God knows her needs, and will answer our prayers in His time. We love you all and send hugs to all. Aunt Mary and Uncle Heinz
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear the wonderful news! Between Kim, Hannah, and this website, I am able to keep updated with Eden progress. It's a small world. I was chatting with Hannah and another teacher walked in and over heard us talking about little Eden. It was Mrs. Wilke. I think you know her well. She is in our classroom several times a day. Now we all have a connection with you. We will continue to send our thoughts and prayers your way.
