Since the day of Aubrey's birth, we have been told by medical professionals that her health will decline to the point of necessary surgical intervention. I don't doubt the truth in their words-- except GOD. It is really miraculous to see how, contrary to what we've been told to expect, Aubrey improves and improves and improves and just. keeps. improving!
The little baby who couldn't figure out how to nurse and burned more calories than she gained in the trying one day just started nursing and still hasn't turned back almost 2 years later. The skinny infant with rag-doll legs has gotten chubbier in her toddler years, opposite of what most children do. The constant question regarding her energy and whether or not she is lethargic have always been truthfully answered with a very emphatic no.
Aubrey is active. She loves to eat, to sing, to run around and dance, to take walks, to go places and see people. Aubrey is so far from being weak and sickly, it is amazing.
I wish I had better pictures to show how much better she looks even from last year to this year, but these will have to suffice:

Aubrey last winter: weighing in at 17lbs
Aubrey a few weeks ago: our rosy-cheeked, chubby-fingered, round-bellied, 24lb, growing girl!
I have to say I DID notice how healthy she looked the other night sticking her big belly out, and WOW it really is a miracle (not the big belly but from where she started from :). She DEFINITELY is not lacking much of anything! And I just know God has a story to tell with her, and I'm pretty sure He already is! It's exciting!
ReplyDeleteGod is awesome! What a testimony her life is!
ReplyDeleteShe is amazing - and God is SO good! We can't wait to see you all very soon!
ReplyDeletewhat a total blessing brietta, i share you heart in this matter.... i am delighted with and for you and your family in this situation. just keep on trusting God.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing testimony that God is still in the business of miracles!! God is so good!
ReplyDelete24 pounds?!?! Holy cow! She really did look much chubbier when I saw her in November as compared to last May! Yeah for Miss Aubrey!
God is in the business of doing miracles that will baffle any health professional. I think He likes it! He healed Josh of the need for replacement hormones of three different kinds in very much the same way He obviously has healed Aubrey. What a wonderful Maker!
