A year ago yesterday, May 7, we brought Maggie home from the longest journey we had ever been on. Since that day, we have not spent a night in the hospital. I have read some of our post-ICU stay blogs and what the doctor's said about Maggie's recovery. They had said that it would take a year for Maggie's lungs to recover. While we still do not know the state of Maggie's lungs, it has been a year so we hope that they are fully recovered. We will find this out sometime soon, though her procedures have not yet been scheduled. In the past year, Maggie has yet to get a cold, therefore, we don't know how her body will respond to a cold. We continue to keep her oxygen supplies "just in case."
We never were able to formally thank you all for your prayers, prayer quilts, support through money and gift cards, and gifts for Maggie. You all have helped us through the last almost 3 years and we are very grateful. Our journey is not over, but hopefully we will never have to experience what we experienced the last 3 years. We appreciate your continued prayers for Maggie.
The photos were taken on Easter Sunday.

That kiddo is just downright amazing. Sitting back just reading your blog daily I cannot believe how fast this past year went (although I'm know you have a much different view on that timeline). She's looking like a great big sister and very healthy. So happy for you all.
Beautiful children! We are all so thankful that you are doing well. What a difference a year makes! Love from Cousin Carol
I think she could go into modeling or acting! She's got the charm! So glad she's doing well. It was good to catch up with you both last week even if it was short.
It is so good to hear about Maggie and love the pictures of the children. They do look alike. Thanks for the updates. Illinois Auntie
Darling, lovely Maggie...you are truly delightful! And that precious little baby boy.....oh, oh!

Its amazing how God continues his work everyday! It is a blessing that Maggie has come so far. But on the other hand it has been a Blessing for me to be able to watch your family grow thru your postings. I am so happy and thankful that things are going well! Oh how I remember little Maggie, when I first met her (admitting at cmc), not much hair and her adorable chubby cheeks. Look at her now! All God's work!
Sending prayers your way, always.
Your children are absolutely beautiful!
God is good! He hears and answers! Maggie is a true miracle in the making. He has big plans for her. Who knows? Maybe she will be the one to discover a cure for cancer. As a parent myself, I admire you both so much. Your strength is an inspiration for me. Maggie will always be in my thoughts and prayers that she will remain happy and healthy forever! You are such a beautiful family. Please keep in touch on this blog when you are able. I really feel I have a bond with you all even though I've never met you. God bless all of you always!
