Chasing Miracles

Miracles are expected in our house. They are prayed for on a daily basis. They are expected because of the choices we make and how we live our lives. Sometimes they arrive in packages and other times they arrive in small and simple ways. But, we chase them. Its become a quest in life to find as many as I can....You see, I am the mother of Madilyn. Today, we went on one of our many drives to see one of our favorite doctors, Dr. Busch. He is just one of the doctors on our team that cares for Madilyn. Today was a good visit. They were able to take the pin out of Madilyn's foot. On October 29th, my lady bug had a simple surgery to fix her baby toe which would prevent the recurring pressure ulcers that were coming under her toe. I have come to release that nothing with Madilyn is ever quite so simple. So, after 2 trips to the ER, a week stay in the hospital, and 6 casts later, we are finally healing. Miracles happen. Madilyn's life is a miracle. Her smile is a gift. Tonight she was tired. She said she doesn't want to go back to see the doctor tomorrow. I reassured her that we didn't have to go back tomorrow. But, we will return in two weeks. Its our routine. Hopefully the yellow cast will come off for good. If not, we will deal with it. We will chase down another miracle for her.
