"...Everything is Okay..."
Wow. What amazing words to hear from the pediatric nurse as she called with the results from Avery's MRI! Our pediatrician (Dr. Nale) doesn't work on Wednesdays but my friend Andrea (who has walked the MRI road TWICE before with her baby Ella) told me to call and just ask his partner, Dr. Karam, if the results were in yet. Such GREAT advice! (Thanks, Andrea!)
Not even ten minutes passed after originally speaking with Dr. Karam's nurse that she called back and said those three wonderful words that every anxious Mom hopes to hear when awaiting test results... "Everything is okay." I said, "Wh-h-what do you mean?" :) She went on to tell me that the MRI showed no Hydrocephalus and no lesions, and that our Avery has a completely healthy brain. It may be "super-sized," but at least it's healthy! I guess good things come in big packages too! :)
What I'll remember best from this day are words that Collin just prayed as we knelt next to her crib after hearing the good news. He said, "Thank you [Jesus] for Your Faithfulness- Not only in good results- but Your Faithfulness throughout this entire experience." He has been Faithful in every step of this process, and He's used many of you as His voice to speak to us and His arms to hug and comfort us.
I will also never forget the amazing outpouring of love and support you have shown us. Thank you for holding us up when we wanted to crater. Thank you to the people "out there" reading this who we have never met who have prayed over Avery. Thank you to those who redirected our fear and pointed us towards scripture. No words can express our gratitude. We pray you'll be blessed exponentially for the love you've each shown us.
Resting in His Faithfulness--
The Poages
***OH YEAH*** And, I have to mention that Collin had a CT Scan today. Weird, huh? It wasn't planned, but he saw his ENT Doc and found out he has a sinus infection. This doc did surgery on Collin's sinuses about 3 years ago and wanted to X-Ray his head just to make sure things were still looking like they should. It's official-- I'm the only one in the family who hasn't had a major test done today! ...Of course it's only 4:00pm and there's plenty of day left... ;) Kidding.
