here: deeply blessed

Waiting to see the cardiologist and wanting her photo taken because "I look cu-te!"

Ellie waiting for at the cardiologists on Wednesday. Wanting me to take her photo because "I look cu-ute!"

Today, I have the best news to share.

The best.

Ellie is off her of heart medication for good.

As in everything points to her heart being healed.

As in we don't have to go back to the cardiologist for a year!

(Although I don't really know how to be a parent who no longer takes her child to the doctor every few weeks/months.)

We are soaking up all this goodness over here and enjoying our time just the three of us as we settle in to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and then make a feast.

Sending you so much love and light today. Thank you for your support and kindness along the way and for all the support and stories you will continue to share. I adore you.

Blessings,
Liz

PS Kelly is sharing a beautiful free download of her art over on Chickadee Road through the weekend. Check it out here.

This made me cry as well. Big fat happy joyful tears! Tears I welcomed and shared with my kids. We all agree that Ellie is absolutely adorable! She made a wise choice in picking you as her Momma. (My 17 y/o son has always said that babies pick who they want to be their Momma's for their own reasons. He won't tell me why he chose me. He just grins. lol!)

Brightest blessings to you and your beautiful family from our little corner of the world. :)

YES!!!! and also I must shout my happiness in a new Hebrew phrase I just learnt: "Eshet chayil!" (the "ch" sounds a bit like it does in "loch"). It means "woman of valor" and that goes for you AND your little girl! Blessings!
