Aramai

We've been so overwhelmed with the support and prayer from many many people for our precious little girl. She had a very successful surgery. She remained in the hospital for a few extra days due to fluid build up around her lungs. They gave her extra doses of lasiks through an IV and in a couple days it was completely gone! We got the phone call Christmas morning that we were dying to get all week. The nurse said "you can come get your baby girl and bring her home for Christmas". My heart was just thrilled to be able to do just that. I couldn't wait to have her in my arms in our own house again.

Christmas was a busy day at the Sareyka's house. Lots of people and lots of presents! When we returned home in the evening, we put Avalee to bed and just sat on the couch admiring Aramai and thanking God for all He had done for us. While I was praying, Aramai smiled for the first time at me. I can't even express what my heart felt at that moment. God is so good - and I know God was smiling at that moment too. I'm going to enjoy every moment with my girls because I know how fast they can grow up. Thank you all for thinking of us, praying for us, and taking care of us during these very hard weeks. We love you all!
