AMAZING

I have been praying for quit some time now that God would reveal to me that He in fact does hear my prayers about Hannah. Several nights ago he revealed Himself to me in the middle of the night. It was a very personal experience that I haven't shared with a lot of people. However, tonight God revealed himself in a way that I just can't help but share. When I picked up Joseph from the nursery at church he showed me a picture he had drawn. He said "This is Hannah and she's walking all by herself with no help.... She's going to do this in about a year." It was all I could do not to cry right then and there. I asked him if someone helped him draw this picture or gave him the idea and he said "It just came into my brain, so I did it" Now for those of you who don't know Joseph that well, he is not usually big on drawing pictures of any kind nor is a huge fan of Hannah a lot of times. This just further proves that it had to be God that put this into his brain. We are thanking God for and believing this promise that our sweet little girl will in fact walk without help. Please pray that we can be patient while we are waiting for God's timing.

Eye Patches...AGAIN :(

I took Hannah for a check up with her eye Dr today and now he wants to patch the opposite eye from last time. I asked him if that was common to switch eyes and he said it was for kids like Hannah and the goal is to make them equal. Hannah hated the patches last time, and always managed to get them off and had trouble with them breaking out her skin. Please pray that she will tolerate them better this time and keep them on for the 3 hours a day she is supposed to wear them.
We are also a little concerned about insurance. We found out today that Coke will no longer have Aetna insurance which has been so good for us since Hannah was born. As long as Hannah continues to receive medicaid, insurance doesn't really matter, but we still haven't heard that she got Medicaid for this year and they are always trying to cut Medicaid. Please pray that the new insurance will be at least close to what we had with Aetna and that she will continue to receive medicaid to cover the costs after insurance.
