Today, for the first time since mid-April, Maggie told me that she was a GREEN band aid. That means that she is 100% and feeling healthy. I was so happy and excited. She was cuddling on the couch with me reading a book and let me know very matter of factly and added, "Mommy today my head does not hurt anywhere." Amen and Alleluia! I began to feel I would never hear her say that. The medicine and "plan" seems to have finally worked. A huge weight has lifted off my shoulder of concern that we would be battling this inflammation forever.
I am going to enjoy these moments of freedom and health. I will appreciate her being a green band aid and be grateful for each moment. I will work hard not to worry or think of what is or is not to come (esp. with school starting in month). It is now time to relax and enjoy my healthy kids. The summer, although almost over, is now ours to just sit back and let go.
Thank you God for walking with us the past 3/4 months. It has been Your strength and guidance which has led the way. I am filled with gratitude for her health and the knowledge we have gained. Most importantly, I am grateful for the experiences which have led me closer to You.
