Levi has been home for 6 months!!!
So hard to believe. It has flown by, yet it seems like he has been with us
forever. He has fit right into our family. It always amazes me how God
knows which child belongs where and how He just grafts them into your family.
Levi's transition has been easy. He has adjusted tremendously and adores
his brothers and sisters and we adore him! We have enjoyed watching him
learn to play, run, jump, and gallop. How to wrestle and rough house a bit.
His little personality is blossoming and it is so fun to watch. He
loves playing with Legos and blocks, farm animals, trains, and cars. He
loves to color and put his favorite things in his backpack. He loves to
eat and is not at all picky. He likes to help cook and set the table. He
has grown 2 inches and gained 2 pounds since October. (Although the
weight was gained in the hospital from the feeding tube.) We are hopeful
that he will gain some weight once his heart is fixed and his body doesn't burn
off all the calories from working so hard. His tracheal reconstruction
was successful. You can tell he is getting more air even in his speech.
His voice is bigger and clearer. He is still short of breath but not as severe
as before. We believe this is due to the heart defect and should disappear
after the heart repair. I remember being scared about Levi's heart
condition. Feeling like it was too complex for us to handle. Hearing God say,
"It's not too complex. You can do this." God was right on. Levi
is a wonderful gift to our family. He is precious beyond measure. A pure
delight. We are truly blessed. In 6 months we have watched the
Lord bring healing physically, medically, and emotionally to Levi and it has
been awesome to watch. I can only imagine what the next 6 months will bring.
