Greetings from Houston

This is Libby wearing the shirt and bows that I sent to her as her "going home" outfit and then she got soooo sick and was back in the hospital fighting for her life! It is soooo good to see her WEARING that shirt and SMILING!

Well, I am here in Houston visiting Libby. It is so great to see her. She is doing so well. She is just amazing. She has made me laugh a lot!!! When I got here, it almost made me cry. Gracie and Libby were napping so I went out in the hallway and read until they got up. When I came in and Libby started waking up she started crying and saying "I want to go home". I felt like her seeing me, a person from HOME, made her want to go HOME! It was sad. Once she was good and awake, she started being silly with me and laughing and we had a great time together. She did physical therapy yesterday and did a bike ride all around the floor! She worked really hard and I was so proud of her. I have spent most of my hospital time on the BATHROOM floor with Libby. Libby has loved going in there and laying on the floor and having me read, blow bubbles, tell her stories and play pretend! I can't say that I have EVER spent that much time in the bathroom in all of my life....and I enjoyed EVERY minute of it. I can't tell you how great it is to see Libby doing so well. She is so smart and so funny. She is looking forward to her brothers coming tonight and her babysitter Araenae and her Daddy, of course. She has told me today (in the bathroom) all of the many, many, things that she is going to do when she gets home: swing, a bike ride, watch tv, go walk to her new house...and the list goes on. God has shown Himself in this little girl. She really is a miracle!!!! The plan is for her to go home Tuesday....yeah! I took a ton of pictures while I was here with Gracie's camera, so I will post them soon...
Well, my ride to the airport is coming. I will bring this to a close. Thanks for checking in!

This is one of the many things that I did while I was there....I got to take the toothbrush that you see in her hand and put water on it! She loves to chew on that toothbrush...Silly Libby!
