It must be Thankful Thursday because I am happy to share that Ethan wore his glasses for over an hour at school and then I took him to PT at the hospital and two different times he walked more than thirty consecutive independent steps. The first time was 39, and he ran out of room or he would have had more. Later in the session he completed 35 independent steps in a row. This is huge, we haven't had more than a few steps in a row since the end of February. With Ethan's CI surgery at the beginning of March followed by sickness for most of March and April hopefully we are finally getting back to where we were back at the end of February when he took 44 consecutive independent steps (his record to date).
I don't think this is exactly how it works, but I had to share anyway. I believe with all my heart that God does not make mistakes, and although I will fully admit that it hurts my heart that any child is born (or develops) disabilities and/or life threatening illness, I know that God is sovereign and that He has a divine plan (even when we don't understand it!). I believe that God brought Jeff and I together and that He knew Ethan even as he was growing inside of me. While this is not the journey we would have dreamed of or chosen, and there are going to be times (and have been already) when we struggle, stumble and fall it is our hope that in the end that we will bring glory and honor to the Lord.
