Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for:

1. Doctors and nurses who take care of children - they have a special reward in heaven!
2. Marcia - she is breathing on her own and is up walking around. She is still in ICU but she is improving.
3. Claire - she is recovering from her surgery. The implant will be activated on March 9! Note in the picture that Claire has a black eye. This is from the surgery and she has also been fighting hives since Tuesday. We are trying to figure out the source of the hives. You can see them on her face and hand. They cover her entire body. The poor baby is so itchy.


4. Prayer warriors - what a ministry to pray for people in their time of need.
5. Friends - who visit us at home and bring a yummy dinner and special surprises for Claire! Thanks, Tina, Brogan and Teddi!




6. Hot showers - Nothing feels better after a long night in the hospital!
7. My own bed :)
8. Technology that gives Claire the opportunity to hear!
9. Big sisters that will take the time and paint her little sister's fingernails! Claire is blowing on her nails here!

10. Starbucks - Chocolate chip frappuccino! Yummy! I even enjoyed these in China!

Oh, poor baby--hives! Praying that these get cleared up soon. Is she able to take Benadryl? Our son gets hives occasionally. Ususally one dose of benadryl does the trick.
Blessings,
Sarah

I am thankful that Miss Claire is home and running around! Oh what a treasure she is. Praying the hives are getting better, and looking forward to March 9th with you! Happy to hear that Marcia is doing better too. Thank you Lord!

Love you~
