It's been awhile....

It has been awhile since we last posted. We are safe and sound back in Kentucky. As I type by two big boys are putting their "pet" worms into a jar to live. I can't stand that they are touching those little creatures, but boys will be boys. As for Elijah, he is doing great with his Physical therapy and occupational therapy. He is sitting up great and is rolling all over the place. We caught him this weekend moving from one side of the living room to the entertainment center pulling my berries off. He can't crawl but he will find a way to get where he wants to go. We had a wonderful Easter and the boys got lots of candy, etc. We are planning on leaving for Texas a few days before the surgery so we can do some fun stuff on teh way down and when we get there. I suppose by June it will pretty warm in Texas so we will get a room with a pool. That should occupy my boys while Ryan and I tend to Eli. We are blessed to have my wonderful mother in law going with us. She is so great to help us out whenever we need her. My parents can't go because my dad isn't feeling the best these days. Please pray for him. After this surgery hopefully we will be done until later this year for his undescended testicle, which should be nothing after all he has been through. Looking forward to a nice surgery free summer at the pool. I will have to admit we are definitely nervous about his craniofacial surgery, but know that God has this all in his control. When Eli was first born and in ICU at UK. we prayed to give him completely over to God, good or bad. Man that was the hardest thing I have ever done. We felt like Abraham giving Isaac to God. But you know once we completely surrendered his life to God then there was such a peace. God has been with our angel this entire journey and I know this time will be NO different. Please just pray for all the people involved in his care and that God will guide their every decision. Thanks for all your support and prayers. We love each one of you. I will try to post a picture or two but I am not so computer literate. So we will see. Talk to you all later.
