Today, my girl walked back into her school with her brother, hand-in-hand. After being diagnosed with sepsis in May that attacked her respiratory system and forced her surgeon to remove the hardware on the right side of her chest wall, causing it to collapse, Abby's lungs began to fail. In October, she was officially diagnosed with lung failure and we were told that since she was no longer eligible for a trach due to fusion in her c-spine, there was really nothing else they could do. We put her in a proverbial bubble and prayed that she would stay healthy. We celebrated her birthday and Christmas, silently acknowledging that it could be her last. Once again, God performed a miracle in Abby's life. Her lungs began to improve and she became less reliant on the ventilator to help her breathe. We started exploring the idea of her going back to school in the spring. Abby continued to become more active and was able to play and enjoy time out...
Choosing joy and trusting God!
