    We got the wonderful news Tuesday that we could head home.

    7 days post-op from open heart surgery and she was ready to go.

    She was ready in two seconds flat with her cape, sparkly boots, phone, and purse with all her critters.

    Dr. Marx came to say goodbye and to let us know how pleased he was with her recovery.

    She could barely contain the giggles in the elevator.

    Everyone thought she was very stylish!

    We said our prayers before we took off.

    Evie 12

    She was so happy to be home with the other littles.

    And the middles…

    And the bigs were happy too.  Although I did not take any pictures to prove this fact.

    It’s hard to tell which little is the happiest to have her home.

    Trying to get a picture with Lainey proved to be quite the challenge.

    After 2 1/2 years of having little blue ones in the house, the surgeries are done and everyone is PINK!

    WE LOVE THE COLOR PINK!  It looks pretty good on our Evie Faith!

    We have been so blessed through the past year with all your prayers.  It started with Evie’s heart cath in August of last year, we had four more heart catherizations and three more open heart surgeries.   Each one of the kids did unbelievably well.  With each of the last three surgeries, the kids were discharged on post op day 7.  Have I told you how much I love the number 7?  Here is the definition for the number 7 in the Bible.

    Seven is the number of completeness and perfection (both physical and spiritual).

    Seems pretty appropriate for these little ones who are healing emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

    Thank you again for every prayer said, every word of encouragement uttered, and for standing with us during this busy, busy year.  We can not possibly put into words how much it meant.

    Praise be to God!

    We are indeed seriously blessed!!!
