I have a Home

Many families who adopt have a blog to journal their adoption and many of us who are still on the road to ours get much needed advice, information and overall encouragement from them. If you have a chance to read the last blog "I have a home" from Adoption Road (check the blogs that I follow - scroll down on the left). It is beautifully written and something I know I'd love to share with Molly when she begins to formulate the same questions.

    I'm still trying to figure out this blog thing (I think I may need lessons from Mikey!!) but I am SOOOOOO excited for you guys and soooo looking forward to following your trip to get Molly. If there's anything the Patrick's can do, please ask. We love you!!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The surgeon just left. He's pleased with the results. They did not have to remove any part of her skull, they were just able to shave down the bumps. They saw the fracture and said that at one time it had gone through the dura, but her own scar tissue had closed up the gap and there was no need for them to repair. So they were able to stay on the outside layer of the skull. We are so pleased. That is what we were hoping for. We can never thank you all enough for all of your unceasing prayers and we can never thank God enough for this big miracles and all of the little ones leading up to this! God IS good.

Recovering Very Well!

Molly is doing just amazing! She's recovering so quickly that she wanted to go to her Upward Soccer Awards Night last night. She did great until she saw all of the children jumping on the jolly jumps and wanted to join in! We were thrilled that she felt so good that she wanted to jump, but we had to leave because she didn't really understand why she couldn't. (She has antibiotic cream on her hair, that is why it is shiny) She's not been on any pain medication since we've come home and simply doesn't need it, which is almost impossible to imagine. The swelling is going down quickly and she's almost back to normal. We're grateful to God for what He's done in her life! We're grateful for all of your prayers. God is Good, all the time :-)

Family Visit

Molly had her first official visitors today! The children finally got to come for a visit and it was great! Molly was awake for 2 hours and we kept her busy, playing, eating, walking and visiting. Now she is sound asleep but happy. She really came alive the whole time they were here. It was so good for her! Her face is very swollen, but we're still hoping that she may get one eye open tomorrow so she can be released. All else is well, she's needed extra pain meds a few times today, but overall she's been ok with just tylenol. Amazing! Grandpa Bruce relieved me for several hours so I could take a nap :-) He told her stories and read to her. We made up a game where she had to identify things we put in her hands because she can see nothing. It's amazing how resilient children are.
