We had a very busy Valentine's yesterday. Colin turned 4 months old and had his 4 month checkup and shots, and Maggie had her monthly clinic appointment. The day still does not get any easier for me, but she continues to prove to us that she is a healthy, growing little girl. Maggie weighed in at 33 pounds and has even grown an inch and a half- 37 1/2 inches tall!
With the end of this month comes a big milestone for us-- 1 year off treatment. It also is a hard time for me as I remember (and try to forget) all that we went through last year. Andy and I still cannot read our blog from the end of February through the beginning of May of last year. It is very hard for us and even talking about it, and seeing the images in our head is very difficult. One day I will look back and read about the hardest time in both of our lives and it won't be so painful, but for now we will just remember that God showed us miracle after miracle with our little girl.
Maggie continues to show us that she is like any other normal 3 year old. She fights for independence, refuses to be potty trained, mothers her little brother (and Daddy), and tells us what to do. She's a strong-willed little girl, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Her brother, Colin, does a good job of leveling it all out by his laid-back, social personality. He loves to give a smile to anyone who will look his way. Maggie continues to do a great job of taking care of him and if ever someone wants "shy" Maggie to talk to them, just ask about her brother. She loves to talk about her brother.
Thank you for keeping up with us and for your continued prayers. I hope as time goes on, it will get "easier" for us, especially me.

I can't imagine how difficult it must be looking back. Maggie sure did show us what miracles are all about. The pics of the two together are absolutely adorable!
Looking back can happen much later, Whitney...living in the precious moments of TODAY is all that is required for now. :) Praising Him for the miraculous life of your sweet growing girl and her perfectly amazing baby brother! Yeah!
Thanks for the update. I have gone back in the blog several times, but not lately. Even knowing the wonderful and miraculous conclusion, it was still difficult to read. One day you may be ready to go back and revisit that time, but for now, just continue to take delight in your two beautiful, healthy, happy children, and give praise. God is so good. You remain in our thoughts and prayers here in Lakeland, Florida. Cousin Carol
