Polar Snow Dip

Get ready. . . Set. . . Go!!! Hopey's first polar snow dip this year! She asked to do it and loved it! Great way to kick off the first day of her "spring" break! : )

HOPE UPDATE

Hope is loving her time at Bearspaw Christian School! Praise God for His hand over this transition and her continued healing and recovery! She is still part time, and that is going well for her so she can have a little more sleep in the mornings. We'll look at increasing her time there slowly after spring break. We are so thankful for how she is blossoming and flourishing in this wonderful school environment

My Favorite Hope-ism

I have a few things I'll try to share tonight! Let's start with my favorite Hope-ism for this week:

After returning home from school, I asked Hope how her afternoon at school was. This was her reply:

      "It was delightful! I had a very happy day of life!"

I am determined to use that most wonderful response the next time someone asks me how my day was!!! : ) Love it!!! Love her!!! Love LOVE the awesome God who has His gracious hand over her!!! : )

HOPE UPDATE and a Hope-ism

Hello dear praying friends and family! Hopey began another unwell bout this past Friday and it lasted through today, so a bit longer than the last few bouts. She was "off and on" all day, but seemed to end on a good note, so praying that tomorrow will mark a new day of talking and feeling better as well as normal eating and drinking!

Just for Fun Post

Me again. . . hee hee. . . this is going to be a "just for fun" post. I'm going to start trying to remember some of the fun things that Hope is starting to say and share them with you now and then. . . just for fun!!! Cause we have a LOT of laughs in this house with a witty daddy and a Hopey that takes after him and seems to have very much retained that wonderful quality! So here is my fun Hope-ism to share this week!

Bestest Buddies

I love this picture! Hope and Gabs sleep together every night in Hope's hospital bed! It is such a great representation of the bestest buddies they have always been! Gabi was invited to a sleepover the other day and came to me with tears in her eyes and whispered, "But Mom, I cannot sleep without my Hope!" We had the sleep over at our house instead! We thank The Lord for the sweet way these sisters still love on each other!!! : )

HOPE UPDATE

Okay here is another quick post on Hope's current condition and response to last weekend's prayer request. . . 

Thank you sooooo much for praying with us last Sunday for Hope to exit the "unwell bout" that she was in and start eating/drinking again! God gracious hand brought her out of it later that afternoon, when she started to eat/drink, communicate and such again! We were so thankful to avoid another long stretch such as the 9 day one the week before! Hope did pretty good eating and drinking the rest of the week. . . however, she went back into another "unwell bout" yesterday morning. She has not eaten or drank anything for 48 hours now and again looks physically unwell. She is very quiet and non-communicative again as well, and as hard as I worked today to try to ask her different questions about what she's feeling during these times, she just does not or cannot seem to answer me.

Prayer Request

Trev and I will be trying to contact the Barrow Institute in Phoenix this week to look into whether they may be able to shed any further light on these "unwell bouts" that Hope has so often. Please pray for us as we do this and that The Lord will lead and direct and grant wisdom to those we talk to on how best to proceed and if this will be an avenue worth pursuing.

Thank you dear ones for your continued prayers! You are so very loved and appreciated by the Peacock flock! : )

HOPE UPDATE continued

Hello dear praying friends and family! I have a few posts I'm going to try to do tonight! Let me start with one addition to the last LONG update that I forgot to mention. . . Hope's progressing and severe scoliosis! Please keep this in prayer as well!
