A Happy Meal Indeed!

It's been a few weeks since Elizabeth's last illness and somehow, she's become a completely new kid! It's really miraculous. She's begun eating like never before and eating real normal table food...PB&J (with crusts, but cut in triangles), a hamburger and fries from Sonic (won't be going there again, but she enjoyed the burger), quesadillas with refried beans and sour cream, oh and olives!, a Denver scramble and toast with butter, and tonight she dined on sloppy joes and carrot sticks (dipped in ranch dressing of course)!

I watch her eat and my jaw drops. Quite suddenly, the fear is gone. She just knows she can do it and launches right in...that is, after I tell her that she's eating the same thing as Jude (our sweet friend who is 4 and a half). THANK you for your steadfast prayers for our little Bean. She's doing amazingly and we give all the glory to God. I can't figure out how to embed the video...so until I get the kinks worked out, to watch the Miracle in action click HERE.

  6. You are KIDDING ME!!! I watched the video--my, how far you have all come! It shouldn't be hard to believe with such a mighty God leading you, but it is still HARD TO BELIEVE! Have fun on all your picnics and cookouts this summer

    With thanks and praise for you,
    Kelly from St. Lucas (Nick's mom)

  7. My favorite part is the elbow on the table, like "Glad this is a big deal to you Mom, but (yawn) I'm just eating a sloppy joe..." like she's done it every day of her life. Praising God with you for this huge victory!
