Mother of Pearl!!!!

We just changed Amy's bandage and she said "It hurts like the dickens, so if I make a face just do what you have to do." As we took the old one off she yelled out "Mother of Pearl!!!" But we did it!!! The surgeon hoped by tomorrow we might be able to get by with just a large bandage instead of this big, bulky one, and we sure hope he's right.
As if we needed another roller coaster ride...we received a letter tonight from the Registrar who implied Amy doesn't have to lose the whole trimester. She said Amy can stay home till 6 April and then make it back for the next class. Brian is going to call tomorrow to verify we're all on the same page. But this is HUGE! It's been a rather emotional few weeks and when I read that e-mail tonight I shed a few tears. I'll admit it. But I'm just so thrilled that Amy might not have to put her dreams on hold after all!!! You have no idea how happy this makes us. Did I mention earlier that there have been lots of miracles and answered prayers? Wow...just goes to show you that God can't be put in a box with limitations. He's a God who exceeds our wildest expectations! Amy had such a good attitude about re-working the timeline to finish school. And then God added an exclamation point to this crazy roller coaster ride. I'm in awe of His mighty power, grace, and abundant blessings.

We are all so thankful that the school possibily is still open for our Amy and we will not stop praying that she is able to make it. Yesterday was a very long day for all, but we sure slept last night...hope that you all did too. God is so good!! "If He takes you to it, He will take you through it." "Mother of Pearl"...she never loses her sense of humor, well maybe occ., but not often. LY The Seniors
